More quotes by Gloria Estefan
I've bought more music for my Ipod in one year than I bought in the last ten years of my life.
Gloria Estefan
Everything's funny for God's sake. Everything.
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
You've got a new Spanish-language album out now [90 Millas, released in September of 2007], and the single [No Llores] is #1 on the Billboard Latin chart.
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
If the 70's freed our inhibitions, what good did it do?
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.
Gloria Estefan
For the rest of my life, the one song that people will remember -- regardless -- is Conga . . . I never get tired of singing it. It never gets old for me.
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
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
Performing is one of the best feelings I know!
Gloria Estefan
Those of you who speak only English, applaud [audience applause]. Those of you who speak only Spanish, applaud [audience applause]. [In mock incredulity] Then how do you know what I just said?
Gloria Estefan
Getting this caliber of musicians together [for 90 Millas CD in September of 2007] is almost impossible to do again.
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
It's a universal story, it's an immigrant story, and it's a love story. In the United States, if you believe in yourself and you're determined and persevere, you're going to succeed.
Gloria Estefan
My mom was definitely very strict with me.
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
Music is almost mystical to me. It really has an incredibly powerful force.
Gloria Estefan
I don't want anything from Cuba. I want them to be free and enjoy the things I enjoy.
Gloria Estefan
The library takes me away from my everyday life and allows me to see other places and learn to understand other people unlike myself.
