  1. “No, I think that they were totally irresponsible. And the magazine was doing so poorly that no one that had some reputation would take the job. So they said, okay, so let's.”

  2. “Yes, I was very lucky because they allowed me to be editor-in-chief of a magazine when I was 25. And it was like writing.”

  3. “Yes, in a country like my country, which is Colombia, the amount of news that happens and how you are looking for developments and watching always the newscast to see what happened when there is so much going on caught my attention and I think that it was storytelling, but it was also the impact.”

  4. “I think that there is no better way to influence public opinion, politics, society in general than journalism. And it's the most pure way to do it. I like politics, but I like to see the politics from this side and to play the role of scrutinizing how politics is done and also to highlight the positive things. But journalism is the best possible profession, in my opinion. You are working with so many diverse issues. It's impossible to get bored and you are writing history.”

  5. “I do. I do. I go often and I am a very pro-Israel person making the distinction that you don't need to agree with the government to wish Israel good and to wish the Palestinians good as well. But I do go very often I am amazed by the capacity to innovate and what certain branches of the military have done for the tech industry. And we just establish a technology lab there, which I'm very, very happy for. And the talent is amazing. I only work for Univision. It's Univision, Univision, and Univision. And the amount of talent and entrepreneurship and fearlessness that you'll find there, it's pretty rare.”

  6. “88 to 9 It was an interesting time. The politics wasn't as bad as it is today. And there was still much more hope. It was not as polarized and as difficult as things are today.”

  7. “I did. I didn't. It was a great experience. And to learn about different values and see from a completely different perspective how the world works.”

  8. “Correct. Correct. My mother's family is from Russia. My grandmother is from Russia. And they were in Colombia before the war. And that's how my parents met. And they're both Jewish. So yes, I went to the Hebrew school and they took me to the synagogue on Shabbat and I was raised as a Jewish kid”

  9. “I would say that more than big it was very prominent and very successful. It's small and it has gotten smaller, but it's not very big.”

  10. “Yes, my grandparents from my father's side are Holocaust survivors. They were born in Poland. My grandfather fought with a Russian army against the Nazis, and he was wounded. And because of those wounds, he was able to save himself. And my father was born during the war and got to Colombia when him and his sister were little kids. And it was tough. It was tough to get to a completely different country where they didn't know anybody without speaking the language to start from scratch.”
