I have two kids, a career, and a man that takes a lot of my attention and time.

I now talk to different cultures, and I hope that I can bridge those gaps and differences between us. It's an adventure, a dream... I feel like I'm on an anthropological mission.

Seeing me in love is a constant state: there are no questions, as the answer is simply there.

I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.

People are not depressed in Colombia the same way people are in America.

Gerard is just like me, but two meters tall. We're very alike; it's not for nothing that we were born on the same day, it's just that he was born 10 years later... he's a happy guy, healthy here, in the head.

Gerard and I pretty much share all parenting responsibilities, although I'm definitely the disciplinarian.

I started my own Pies Descalzos/Barefoot Foundation when I was 18. We provide education to vulnerable children in Colombia and other developing countries. I am an avid believer that education - and especially early childhood development - is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

I tried to give my career a shot from Barranquilla, but the musicians would never show up. It was just not taken seriously.

I never made it to the school choir because the music teacher didn't like my voice. I was pretty sad. But he was probably right; I did have a voice a bit like a goat, but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going, and it's paid off.
