More quotes by Gloria Estefan
She's an amazing dog and really inspired everything that's in this book.
Gloria Estefan
I tell him [husband Emilio] you are lucky I am not a jealous woman, because look at the women he's worked with: Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Thalia, Madonna. These very sexy women. I trust him.
Gloria Estefan
The secret of a long marriage is shaving your legs every day . . . because it shows you still care.
Gloria Estefan
There's some people that are 24 hours with the baby and it doesn't make a difference. They could be anywhere.
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
[My first children's book] is very subliminal, let's put it that way. It even has a bit of a metaphysical little message in there [about how] we're all somehow connected and we all have a responsibility toward each other. Although you may feel alone in the world, you definitely are not.
Gloria Estefan
Everything that an artist does is a risk. Some people want you to stay the same. If you want to evolve, they want to keep you in a certain place.
Gloria Estefan
I received an award for 25 million in [album] sales the night before the bus accident [in 1990].
Gloria Estefan
What's the point if you make something that's not you, and you're successful? You have to perform it the rest of your life.
Gloria Estefan
When I went to do Carson that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. Conga hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case.
Gloria Estefan
I'm happy and I have a great life.
Gloria Estefan
I'd love to have a program like 'Dr. Laura.' I studied psychology at the University of Miami, and when I rode the bus home from school, perfect strangers would strike up conversations with me and end up telling me their life stories. I think they could sense that I was studying to help people. That, or I have a face like a priest.
Gloria Estefan
It is always so, I guess, validating when you meet somebody that you esteem -- and then they turn out to be everything [you thought] and more.
Gloria Estefan
Of course in Miami, not denouncing Fidel Castro at every turn is almost as bad as saying Gloria Estefan can't sing.
Gloria Estefan
I make the best pancakes you'll ever have! And I claim that title gladly. On Saturdays I make them for everybody.
Gloria Estefan
I bit down three nails rooting for the Heat.
Gloria Estefan
Well first of all, I'm a singer. I sing since I talk. So the great ballad singers, the people that sang with so much feeling, jazz, blues, all those singers, they were songs that I listened to, records that my mom played for me, and then later I bought.
Gloria Estefan
[Cuban coffee is] very powerful, very sweet, and a little dangerous - just like the people who drink it.
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
You've got to believe. Never be afraid to dream.
