His choice to take on very diverse roles is an intentional one. Despite being a triple threat he is always challenging himself and the worlds view of him. He revealed this when he went on to tell Collider, "I say to myself, "How can I continue to not only prove to the world, but prove to myself, 'Hey, you can do that. You can also do that. And you can do that. And you can do that.'"
That survival mode is something the Puerto Rican star has known since childhood. Raised in a housing project by a single mother of three he said, "We had days where we didn't have hot water, when we were about to be evicted. I had to be resourceful: 'I asked Jean for a quarter yesterday, so maybe I can ask Miss Helen next door for one'" (via Time). While he may not find himself in that situation again soon, Ramos realizes how fleeting that financial security can be. He told The New York Times, "You get a million dollars, you know that could go tomorrow." With that in mind, the star said he stays hungry by "writing like I'm never going to be able to write a song again."
