More quotes by Gloria Estefan
Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
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
If the 70's freed our inhibitions, what good did it do?
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
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
Neither. I did not bring my crown, and the last thing I would want to do is get into politics.
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
Make sure everything you do you really like, because you have to sing it the rest of your life.
Gloria Estefan
If you discover a word in my book that you don't understand, ask your parents so they can look it up in the dictionary for you.
Gloria Estefan
We must feel the pain before the pleasure, only then can we tell them apart.
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
I dreamed of becoming a writer. And this dream is about to become a reality with the publication of my first, and hopefully not my last, children's book.
Gloria Estefan
Sometimes parents, when they have a lot of small children, it's hard because your time's got to get divvied up. There's no other way.
Gloria Estefan
The last thing I wanted to do was put politics into my music... because music was my escape.
Gloria Estefan
Being Latin parents makes us extremely expressive with our affections.
Gloria Estefan
We seal our fate with the choices we make.
Gloria Estefan
[After a poor prognosis for recovery from her doctor following her 1990 bus accident] I said if it is up to me, I'm going to be OK.
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
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.
Gloria Estefan
When you are happy it is harder to write [songs].
Gloria Estefan
