Of course in Miami, not denouncing Fidel Castro at every turn is almost as bad as saying Gloria Estefan can't sing. - Gloria Estefan

I've got a producer [for bio pic on singer Connie Francis' life] . . . . We're almost there.

My dream is to perform in a big, celebratory concert in a free Cuba, but I don't think they'd even let me into the country. And if they did, I'd have to speak against what is going on, which the government fears. I don't know how much change toward democracy we'll see as long as one of the Castro brothers is around, but I do believe there is a future with a new leader someday. But this leader will also love Cuba and really want to take her forward. When that day comes, Emilio and I will be there in any way that we can be of service.

I do also have a couple of surprises -- which I can't tell you, because then it wouldn't be a surprise. So, don't ask what the surprise is. I'm not going to tell you.
