Ricky Martin: "As Artists, We're Super Insecure"

Ricky Martin has sold out arenas across five continents for 35 years — but he still says that as an artist he never stopped doubting himself. In Part 2 of my extensive interview with Ricky Martin, recorded ahead of his current European tour, he talks to me about the insecurity that never fully goes away even after decades of success, being on the road with his kids, who are also his fiercest critics ("Dad, that's cringe"), the joy of acting alongside Penélope Cruz and Laura Dern, and details on his first new album in more than ten years.
