I've been following what's happening in Colombia because it's the country of my childhood.

I love Colombia's military. I love my country.

I love my country, and it hurts not to be able to see my country, as I did for so many years. I hope that I will one day be able to live in a peaceful Colombia.

We have a bad image in the world, I've got to admit. I just want people to think twice about Colombia. Don't go by the first impression.

I left Colombia because Univision brought me to the United States.

Colombia is in a risky position. They've got a peace process that's going nowhere, and a drug production problem that's skyrocketing.

I just want to serve Colombia.

Anybody who's been to Ecuador wants to go back because it's beautiful out there.

When we first invested in Colombia, we were buying a lot of coal from Colombia. We were dealing with them daily. I knew their guys at the port, I knew their guys at the mine, I had a feel of the country.

As a Colombian, the only way I can relate to my country is through suffering. I hope that my children and my grandchildren will relate to the beautiful country in a way that it is positive and loving.
