More quotes by Gloria Estefan
The reason I’m not more political is because I have music. And from a young age, I needed it. After prison, my father came to America, joined the Army, fought in Vietnam - and was exposed to Agent Orange. He died a slow, horrible death. Music was my escape.
Gloria Estefan
The challenge is always as a writer, is this going to work, because it's a very intimate process, and I tend to be very introverted and insular, and when I write, it's in my head.
Gloria Estefan
This blend of musicians on '90 Millas' is historically significant on a number of levels. This is the first and quite possibly the last time that all of these legendary artists will play together on one CD.
Gloria Estefan
Performing is one of the best feelings I know!
Gloria Estefan
My friends call me 'Dolittle One' [a reference to her physical stature and affinity for animals].
Gloria Estefan
I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.
Gloria Estefan
[My mother] closed the school the next day [after a visit from Castro's soldiers], because she knew that the purpose of education was the broadening and opening of children's minds. And she couldn't be a party to the systematic closing of minds, borders, freedoms and ideals.
Gloria Estefan
I have a very open line of communication with both my children.
Gloria Estefan
Everything's funny for God's sake. Everything.
Gloria Estefan
My mom was definitely very strict with me.
Gloria Estefan
I am trying to teach my children to feel a responsibility for their fellow human beings and a sense of connection with ... the world around them.
Gloria Estefan
I dreamed of becoming a writer. And this dream is about to become a reality with the publication of my first, and hopefully not my last, children's book.
Gloria Estefan
Make sure everything you do you really like, because you have to sing it the rest of your life.
Gloria Estefan
[I would like to be] one of [the first pop singers to perform in a free Cuba]. I know the list is huge. And it would be hard to pull off -- I'd have a lump as big as a tostone [fried green plantain] in my throat. But oh my God, what a dream -- it would be the height of my personal and professional career.
Gloria Estefan
Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.
Gloria Estefan
Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
Gloria Estefan
I'm happy and I have a great life.
Gloria Estefan
I voted, always vote. It's very important to me. My kids, I take them with me since they were little, so they realize it's a responsibility.
Gloria Estefan
The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.
Gloria Estefan
My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.
