More quotes by 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
In Europe there's the upper crust, and these are long, historically families and social systems that have certain established rules that's harder to break into.
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
I hold 'Mi Tierra,' my first Spanish-language album, very close to me because that was all done in my native tongue and won me my first Grammy.
Gloria Estefan
I have a twenty-month-old baby, a sixteen-year-old boy - same maturity level.
Gloria Estefan
Having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another.
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
I love Gershwin. I love musicals.
Gloria Estefan
My inspirations include the Beatles - love, love, love them - Elton John, Carole King, and Stevie Wonder.
Gloria Estefan
The last thing I wanted to do was put politics into my music... because music was my escape.
Gloria Estefan
This blend of musicians on '90 Millas' is historically significant on a number of levels. This is the first and quite possibly the last time that all of these legendary artists will play together on one CD.
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
If the 70's freed our inhibitions, what good did it do?
Gloria Estefan
My mom was definitely very strict with me.
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
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
Once you know the Romance languages, singing in those languages is so sexy and sensual. I do have a global audience, so why not?
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
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
