More quotes by Gloria Estefan
My Conga people [fans] will find me anywhere I go.
Gloria Estefan
I spent my childhood alone, overweight and ugly, angry at everything, and knowing nothing of a life beyond this sadness.
Gloria Estefan
The secret of a long marriage is shaving your legs every day . . . because it shows you still care.
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 spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.
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 have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.
Gloria Estefan
There's some people that are 24 hours with the baby and it doesn't make a difference. They could be anywhere.
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've sung since I talked, when I'm two, but what I sang was ballads, because it's very hard to do a dance track with your little acoustic guitar when you're a kid.
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
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
[Cuban coffee is] very powerful, very sweet, and a little dangerous - just like the people who drink it.
Gloria Estefan
It is always so, I guess, validating when you meet somebody that you esteem -- and then they turn out to be everything [you thought] and more.
Gloria Estefan
The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.
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
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
Make sure everything you do you really like, because you have to sing it the rest of your life.
Gloria Estefan
We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.
Gloria Estefan
I have a twenty-month-old baby, a sixteen-year-old boy - same maturity level.
