I never stop learning. - Gloria Estefan

I have had a life in which I have had to face every big fear, and it has not been pleasant.

[I've] written all original music [for the forthcoming Spanish-language CD], as was [1993's] "Mi tierra" -- years back. It's very organic. It's really down to the roots. I'm in love with that record. It's very rhythmic. It's a very passionate record, and I'm thrilled. It should come out next summer. And a single probably early on in the summer. The album probably will be [out] around September .

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 that's my prime objective on this planet.
