I’m no expert on men. In fact, I don’t know a single woman who could call herself that. Because you guys are the most difficult species to understand! I don’t care if you’re Latin, Chinese, German, Alaskan, whatever you guys are impossible to figure out.
An artist's career is surrounded with hysteria. It's a very neurotic business: you have to run, fight it out; because they throw you away if you arrive late...every hour there's a new reason to tell lies. But, for me, it's an order that the people that work with me tell the truth
Antonio, my soulmate, my boyfriend, has a large heart and is extraordinarily sensitive. He is also very intelligent. I am not besides the only one to believe it.
Each day which passes, I discover in him [Antonio] a better man. Being with him daily gets the same happiness as at the beginning to me. There is many affinities, it supports my career, and, besides my parents, it is to be closest for it which wants me only good.
Britney and Madonna launched out in the cinema, but me I never thought of following this way. There are many stories much more interesting for a film than the history of my life.
But luckily, my career has developed in such a way that I had the chance to assimilate all the changes in my life. Life has been very benevolent to me.
Colombians are people with a great sensitivity surrounded by a difficult reality, That makes us look for ways to channel all those feelings. Sometimes pain creates artists, or at least shapes them.
Every day, I feel a little bit older, a little less alive, more alive with the possibility of being less alive, closer to death.
Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.
For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.
I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.
I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to.
I am a blend of several cultures. Through my veins runs Spanish, Lebanese and Italian blood. All of this heritage is a strong influence on the character of my music.
I am a person who has many dreams, But as soon as I accomplish one I move on to the next. That's my fatal, absurd nature. Human beings are slaves to our dreams and I am, too.
I am a woman who is passionate and stubborn, but rational and analytical.
