My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.

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

You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.

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

There's no better makeup than self-confidence.

Scars remind me of just how far that I've come.

I am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.

Live your life to the fullest.

..."SORRY."...Just doesn't cut it anymore!

Walk together. Feel the heart beats. Experience the presence. This is how to be thankful.

Unless a man has been kicked around a little you can't really depend upon him to amount to anything.

Everyone in the world worth being nice to. Because God never creates inferior human beings, each person deserves respect and dignity.

It's easier to solve the problem more quickly with directors than with writers.

To become truly free, you must surrender.

We are the only species systematically destroying its own habitat.

I dread the idea of a paparazzi snapping me while I'm out running.

Be it Valentine's Day, Father's Day or Mother's Day, I feel all days are reminders of some feelings. February 14 doesn't hold any special relevance for me.
