Women should feel happy with their bodies and not live with the stigma that comes from not looking like models in fashion magazines.

I think that we see war as a virtual thing and we even get to believe that bombs fall on top of cardboard cutouts and stuff like that. They don't. They kill real people, real children, real mothers and millions of innocent people.

My main hope for my children would be that whatever profession or calling they choose in life, that they pursue it with passion.

My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.

The music teacher thought I sang like a goat. It was kind of devastating. A few months after that, I participated in a music contest and won. I took my little trophy to school and rubbed it in his nose. I said to him, "What do you say now?"

I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.

There's no better makeup than self-confidence.
