Ricky Martin 'bored' by fame

Ricky Martin says the fame and fortune he experienced in the late 90s left him feeling bored and embittered.

"There was a moment [in 2002] when I was onstage and I was just so angry," Martin told People magazine.

"I thought, 'Something is wrong. I have the applause, I have a great band behind me, I live comfortably ... ' I was starting to become a victim of fame. Everything was too serious and I wasn't enjoying it."

"When you work, work, work, something is wrong. You need to chill. You need to step aside and see where you've been, where you are now and where you want to be," he said.
