More quotes by 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
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
My guitar and singing was my way of crying.
Gloria Estefan
I'm careful what I put out there into the universe, musically. I don't take it lightly.

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 responsibility of carrying and bringing a new life into this world is one that cannot be taken lightly.
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've bought more music for my Ipod in one year than I bought in the last ten years of my life.
Gloria Estefan
My favorite process is writing, from day one. The songs I have written throughout the years were a real great opportunity for me to communicate, because I think tha'ts my prime objective on this planet.
Gloria Estefan
My Conga people [fans] will find me anywhere I go.
Gloria Estefan
[After a poor prognosis for recovery from her doctor following her 1990 bus accident] I said if it is up to me, I'm going to be OK.
Gloria Estefan
I dreamed of becoming a writer. And this dream is about to become a reality with the publication of my first, and hopefully not my last, children's book.
Gloria Estefan
We seal our fate with the choices we make.
Gloria Estefan
I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.
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.
Gloria Estefan
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.
