Define your art
Learn something new every day

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Be myself without caring what other people think about me or how they want me to behave. Lots of people will achieve happiness if they started doing this.

What determines your future: Fate or free will?
A combination of both

Which do you respect more, power or wealth?
Education

Are you bound by honour or duty?
Honour

Describe Mexico in one word
Changes

What do you say when you talk about Mexico
That it is a beautiful country, with a culture and history without comparison, but that unless we change our mentality and unite as one, we will never be a great nation

If not Mexico, where? Or: Why Mexico?
I would love to live in Australia; I currently live in Mexico because I want to feel Mexican again

Which national icon most inspires you and why?
The new generations inspire me to believe that the change is coming

What is your news source of choice?
Depends on what I am looking for

What would you say is the best Mexican book / movie / artwork?
Any work by Frida Kahlo, I admire the way she portrays the female experience and pain

Describe the perfect Mexican meal
A typical Barbacoa de Hidalgo surrounded by my family and friends, with no stress and phones to interrupt us

What makes a country great?
The education of its people

What is Mexico´s greatest challenge?
To change our attitude of "this is what we deserve" and stop acting like martyrs because the Spanish conquered us.  It was over 500 years ago, let's get over it! This, in my opinion, is the greatest challenge to be overcome as we still think that's the reason that Mexico is not a great nation.  I hope one day we can get past this attitude and leave the apathy and envy that characterizes us behind.  Only then will be become a great country.
