I have a twenty-month-old baby, a sixteen-year-old boy - same maturity level.

Everybody's not as fortunate as I've been that can have their hubby with them on the road, that we can do whatever we want and mainly be honest with the kids. Just the time that you do give them, make it be great time. It doesn't have to be hours.

And, because of the life that I shared with these two amazing women [her mother and maternal grandmother] and the hardships and struggles that I saw them overcome, I learned an invaluable lesson, and that is that women can do anything we set our minds to... and then some!

[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.

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.

I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.
Gloria Estefan
Image
[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.

I love Gershwin. I love musicals.

If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape.

I think we should all live the moment. But you also have to think ahead. You have to think, 'Am I going to be happy with this five, ten years from now? Is it going to let me evolve and grow, or am I going to grow to one day wish I had never done it?' Sometimes you just have to think a little bit ahead.

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.

I stare to memorize your face, to kiss you in my mind, love you all the time.
Gloria Estefan

I'm careful what I put out there into the universe, musically. I don't take it lightly.

I make the best pancakes you'll ever have! And I claim that title gladly. On Saturdays I make them for everybody.
