Define your art:
Dreaming and growing with each challenge.

What is your idea of ​​happiness?
Finding the balance between what I want, what I do and who I am.  Being happy is fully enjoying the joys and understanding the sorrows that are part of life, moving forward and learning from each situation.

What determines your future: fate or free will?
I think a little of both ... I think there are times that luck and destiny may play a role in your life.

What do you respect most: power or wealth?
Wealth... of culture, knowledge, spirit, passion... 

Are you bound by honor or duty?
Honor: it’s more of a personal motivation or willingness instead of an obligation.

Describe Mexico in a word:
Opportunity.

What do you say when you talk about Mexico?
That is a country full of riches mismanaged. It is unfortunate that we are in the current situation and people need to wake up.

If you did not live in Mexico, where would you? Or, why do you live in Mexico?
It's a question I have not really answered myself, maybe one day I’ll try another country like Australia or New Zealand. I live in Mexico because it’s in my heart and I enjoy my life here.

What is the national icon that inspires you most, and why?
Indigenous art ... has a variety of colors, shapes and cultures that make extremely rich and interesting.

What is your favorite news source?
The internet - CNN, Canal +, NY Times

The best Mexican book:
I have not read any Mexican authors yet but Juan Rulfo is on my list.

Describe the perfect Mexican meal:
That's hard... I love aguachile, arrachera, shrimp tacos or tacos de pastor... and my weakness is quesadillas.

What makes a country great?
Its people.

What is the biggest challenge that Mexico is facing now?
Passivity, complacency and corruption rooted in the mentality of the Mexican people.
