From this week’s Spotlight
“I wouldn’t change my life. I wouldn’t. What I have gone through has made me who I am, has made me the artist and creator I am, and has made me the heart and the soul and the mind that I am. I don’t know any other version of Cameron. I don’t know what I would be like if I never went through all this darkness. What I do know, is that this darkness has crafted, sharpened, and built this person I have come to love, and being at BTS is part of that self-discovery of love for me.”
