"I have a very open line of communication with both my children."
Gloria Estefan"I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one."
Gloria Estefan"My mom was a source of strength. She showed me by example that women, regardless of how difficult life may get, can do it all."
Gloria Estefan"The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice."
Gloria Estefan"There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and I've always looked at life that way; I've always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that I've gone through."
Gloria Estefan"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."
