You're a song written by the hands of God.

I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.

I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.

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.

In this life, to earn your place you have to fight for it.

I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.

It doesn't bother me to talk about my private life, it doesn't bother me to talk about anything. My life is like a glass of water, transparent.
