I've performed in China, France, New Delhi, and Indianapolis, and everybody just allows themselves to go at it and have a good time. I think that's what I'm doing through music. It's not about 'I'm from here and you're from there.' It's about unity. Ricky Martin chinadelhifrance share on social
Before, I used to ask permission to my parents to leave the house. Now it's - I ask permission to my children to leave the house. They own the house. Ricky Martin childhouseleave Change image and share on social
If I had spent a quarter of the time that I spent manipulating my sexuality in front of a piano instead, I would be the most gifted piano player of my lifetime. Ricky Martin frontgiftlifetime Change image and share on social
I've felt emotions onstage that I never felt before; it has strengthened me as a person and as an artist. Ricky Martin artistemotionfelt Change image and share on social
Broadway is another monster. I've been touring since I was 12 years old and I love being on the road - one day you're here, next day it's snowing, and the next you are in a desert and it's 110 degrees. So I guess I'm kind of used to the madness physically that you go to when you are an entertainer. But it's been great. Ricky Martin broadwaydaydegree share on social
I have been a victim of stereotypes. I come from Latin America and to some countries, we are considered 'losers,' drug traffickers, and that is not fair because that is generalizing. Ricky Martin americaconsidercountry Change image and share on social
I had very steady and formal relationships with women. And I can say, I fell in love with women and it felt right. Ricky Martin fallfeltformal Change image and share on social
A lot of people say, 'Wow, you're a single father of twin boys, that's crazy!' Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, 'Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,' it can't get better. Ricky Martin amoboychange share on social
Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity. Ricky Martin beingcapacityclassroom share on social
Honestly, I never needed a mask to go onstage. It was me who was there, and it was always what I felt, based on what I had learned at home, in my religion, and from society. I clung to that: 'This is me, it has to be me.' And if I had an encounter with someone of the same sex, I looked away. Ricky Martin baseclingencounter share on social
