“I’ve shaken hands with every radio station, from Honduras to Ryan Seacrest’s.”

My body feels like it is asking to reproduce.

I pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it’s not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It’s a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It’s a very mental game.

When you feel complete, you don’t need to get married, and you don’t think about it.

It’s not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It’s not easy if those people aren’t as perfectionistic as I am.

I remember the first time I saw the ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ video.

I just don’t find marriage a necessary step in a couple’s life.

I feel like I’m on an anthropological mission.

I feel like there is a part of me that represents a minority in the U.S., a minority around the world. People who struggle, people who want to succeed with drive and ambition.

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.

My videos represent the artist in me very well, but not the kind of woman I am.

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

I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.

Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don’t want it to happen to me.

I like fragrances that have some sweetness to them. All three I have developed have that as a common element.

I’m dominant every night. I come in every night and get beat up.

Every time I am looking into the depths of somebody’s brain, I’m thinking, ‘This is what makes a person who they are. That structure contains memories. Everything that they’ve ever experienced is right in there.’

I can’t even give my father a proper gift. Every single Father’s Day means so much to me. I’m so close to him. He’s my big brother, but also my father.

So one of the most unique things on screen in American movies today is everyday behavior.

Every single one of us is the descendant of a go-getter. Of dreamers and of believers.

The Bulls talked to just about every person who ever met me.

We have held that a death toll was a necessary part of every human achievement, whether sport, war or industry. A moment’s rage over the horror of it, and we have sunk into indifference.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.
