More quotes by Gloria Estefan
My family was musical on both sides. My father’s family had a famous flautist and a classical pianist. My mother won a contest to be Shirley Temple’s double — she was the diva of the family. At 8, I learned how to play guitar. I used to play songs from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s in the kitchen for my grandmother.
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.

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
You've got to believe. Never be afraid to dream.

I tell him [husband Emilio] you are lucky I am not a jealous woman, because look at the women he's worked with: Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Thalia, Madonna. These very sexy women. I trust him.
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
My friends call me 'Dolittle One' [a reference to her physical stature and affinity for animals].
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'd love to have a program like 'Dr. Laura.' I studied psychology at the University of Miami, and when I rode the bus home from school, perfect strangers would strike up conversations with me and end up telling me their life stories. I think they could sense that I was studying to help people. That, or I have a face like a priest.
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
Stevie Wonder always smells so good... I'm like a DEA dog, I can smell people a block away!
Gloria Estefan
Music is almost mystical to me. It really has an incredibly powerful force.
Gloria Estefan
The challenge is always as a writer, is this going to work, because it's a very intimate process, and I tend to be very introverted and insular, and when I write, it's in my head.
Gloria Estefan
We seal our fate with the choices we make.
Gloria Estefan
A woman's exterior beauty is a reflection of her internal peace and happiness.
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
I received an award for 25 million in [album] sales the night before the bus accident [in 1990].
Gloria Estefan
I'm careful what I put out there into the universe, musically. I don't take it lightly.
Gloria Estefan
Well first of all, I'm a singer. I sing since I talk. So the great ballad singers, the people that sang with so much feeling, jazz, blues, all those singers, they were songs that I listened to, records that my mom played for me, and then later I bought.
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.
