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

[My mother] closed the school the next day [after a visit from Castro's soldiers], because she knew that the purpose of education was the broadening and opening of children's minds. And she couldn't be a party to the systematic closing of minds, borders, freedoms and ideals.

[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.

The music is one of the beautiful things that has survived the Castro regime. I have played for audiences all over the world but I've never played for a Cuban audience. For [husband] Emilio and me, the music is the one tie to our homeland.

When I went to do Carson that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. Conga hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case.

What's the point if you make something that's not you, and you're successful? You have to perform it the rest of your life.

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.

A woman's exterior beauty is a reflection of her internal peace and happiness.

Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
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.

The secret of a long marriage is shaving your legs every day . . . because it shows you still care.

I'm careful what I put out there into the universe, musically. I don't take it lightly.

There's some people that are 24 hours with the baby and it doesn't make a difference. They could be anywhere.

I received an award for 25 million in [album] sales the night before the bus accident [in 1990].

Music is almost mystical to me. It really has an incredibly powerful force.

I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.

Make sure everything you do you really like, because you have to sing it the rest of your life.

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.
