I like to be home. I like to just relax, watch Jeopardy and La Rueda de la Fortuna. Or I'll cook for Pedro. Maybe boiled chicken with vegetables or a little piece of malanga with just a little salt - because I take care of him. But I don't want to do that every day.
– Celia Cruz

You would give up your career if you lost your voice for good, or if the impresarios stopped calling, or the audiences stopped coming. But as long as those things are there, I don't plan to stop. There is nothing that makes me feel better than to be with my public.
– Celia Cruz
