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.

More quotes by 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
I'm a writer and this is what I love to do.
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
I bit down three nails rooting for the Heat.
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
I have a very open line of communication with both my children.
Gloria Estefan
There is nothing better than humor to keep a marriage going.

My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.
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
We protect aspirin bottles in this country better than we protect guns from accidents by children.
Gloria Estefan
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
I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.
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
Performing is one of the best feelings I know!
Gloria Estefan
Make sure everything you do you really like, because you have to sing it the rest of your life.
Gloria Estefan
My friends call me 'Dolittle One' [a reference to her physical stature and affinity for animals].
Gloria Estefan
More than anything I want to be able to go back to Cuba, to have a house to visit there, to know my roots. Then, at last, I could sing for my people.
Gloria Estefan
If the 70's freed our inhibitions, what good did it do?
