More quotes by Gloria Estefan
I was going to study at the Sorbonne and become a diplomat. Being a diplomat comes in handy when you are dealing with record companies.
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 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.

I'm very comfortable in my own skin now. I started just being myself more and more. For women, this happens as you get older. I loved my 40s - I thought they were fantastic. And I'm loving my 50s. I'm going to love everything because you're either older or dead!
Gloria Estefan

Gloria Estefan
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.
Gloria Estefan

Gloria Estefan
I was a straight-A student, baby!
Gloria Estefan
I hold 'Mi Tierra,' my first Spanish-language album, very close to me because that was all done in my native tongue and won me my first Grammy.
Gloria Estefan
I have a very open line of communication with both my children.
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 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
When you are happy it is harder to write [songs].
Gloria Estefan
Music is almost mystical to me. It really has an incredibly powerful force.
Gloria Estefan
It's important to me that the words that I put out there into the cosmos, into the universe, be empowering or somehow positive for people that hear them, or maybe be cathartic if someone is having a relationship that's having a tough time.
Gloria Estefan
I bit down three nails rooting for the Heat.
Gloria Estefan
I received an award for 25 million in [album] sales the night before the bus accident [in 1990].

Of course in Miami, not denouncing Fidel Castro at every turn is almost as bad as saying Gloria Estefan can't sing.
