My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don't respect you and when they respect you they don't love you.

People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.

I am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.

I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
