“My dad used to take them to the notary and register them so that nobody could steal them from me.”

I thank God that I’m a product of my parents. That they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I’m grateful that I know where I come from.

I like to see people’s eyes when I’m singing to them.

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

I’m Colombian and nothing will change that.

Sensual is everything that refers to the delight of the senses. And that’s what artists do, is stimulate the senses in any possible way.

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

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

The worst mistake of a woman is to go to the kitchen, because then she never gets out of there.

My man, Gerard, prefers meat over bone. That takes the pressure off. I already have a lot to worry about.

I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I’m not capable, I’m too cowardly for that.

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

My therapist taught me why I behave in certain ways and not to feel so pressured.

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. Now I think I just want to share my musical proposal in its entire form.

I always knew that I was tremendously creative. I recited love poems, I wrote stories and I got excellent grades in every subject, except for maths.

I’m a closet nerd. I love to study history and visit museums.

Mom and Dad even took in foster children. ‘There are no limits to how much you can love,’ Dad always said.

I love music; my dad and brother were very musical, and music just happens to be one of my hobbies that became my vocation.

I was crawling around inside of her. She was a church pianist. My dad was a brilliant singer. I was hearing it.

My dad graduated seminary there, and so did (sounds like) Mark Kimball’s grandfather. They sang in a quartet together, my dad and Mark Kimball’s grandfather.

My parents didn’t make a lot of money. My dad was not a high school graduate.

My dad always told me to stand up to bullies, and Bill O’Reilly is kind of a bully, and he’s the kind of kid who hits other kids on the playground.

Music is more of a hobby to me than my hobbies, if that makes sense.

My dad was a terrible businessman.
