More quotes by Gloria Estefan
To know that everything we say and do to this new little human being may have a profound effect on him or her is a daunting obligation.
Gloria Estefan
More than anything I want to be able to go back to Cuba, to have a house to visit there, to know my roots. Then, at last, I could sing for my people.
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 have a very open line of communication with both my children.
Gloria Estefan

Gloria Estefan
It's not so much for me where you come from, who you are, what race you are. We're just human beings that are still a work in progress and there's a lot that we've got to overcome, so that we can all be equal.
Gloria Estefan
My favorite process is writing, from day one. The songs I have written throughout the years were a real great opportunity for me to communicate, because I think tha'ts my prime objective on this planet.
Gloria Estefan
The music is one of the beautiful things that has survived the Castro regime. I have played for audiences all over the world but I've never played for a Cuban audience. For [husband] Emilio and me, the music is the one tie to our homeland.
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
My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in.
Gloria Estefan
My guitar and singing was my way of crying.
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
I love Gershwin. I love musicals.

Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
