I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life. Gloria Estefan enjoyliferecord Change image and share on social
I wrote poetry, which got me into lyrics. Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Elton John pulled me into pop. I started singing with a band - just for fun - when I was 17. And pretty soon, I was thinking I could sing pop in English as well as Spanish. Gloria Estefan bandcaroleelton share on social
My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in. Gloria Estefan ageamazeandy share on social
Music has been so healing in my life, so the fact that my music could be that for someone else is the best gift of my whole career. People have told me that they got married to my music, divorced to my music, and played my music while they were having their baby. Gloria Estefan babycareerdivorce share on social
Fashion is nice, but it's for the fans. If it were up to me, I'd be in a sweat suit! Gloria Estefan fanfashionnice Change image and share on social
To know that everything we say and do to this new little human being may have a profound effect on him or her is a daunting obligation. Gloria Estefan daunteffecthuman Change image and share on social
When you're a front man for a band, there's nowhere to hide. It took me a long time to get used to that. But music is my first love. I started singing when I talked. Gloria Estefan bandfronthide Change image and share on social
If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape. Gloria Estefan bigcheckdark Change image and share on social
As an immigrant, I appreciate, far more than the average American, the liberties we have in this country. Silence is a big enemy of morality. I don't want our blunders in history to get repeated. Gloria Estefan americanaveragebig Change image and share on social
Apparently Pope John Paul II and his boys - is that what you call them? - loved one of my songs and thought I was putting spiritual messages in my music. I'm not religious as such. Dogma and I don't get along. Gloria Estefan apparentlyboycall share on social
