Melyssa Ford does Kontrol Magazine

"If you embark upon a career that places you in the public eye, you have to expect that there’s going to be a certain fascination of who you are as an individual; therefore, there will be public scrutiny and you have to understand that goes with the business. You must live your life in a fine balance: without compromising who you are but also being very careful to understand that you are seen as a role model and people follow your career. That demands a certain kind of respect in terms of your fans and your supporters. You learn to seek support from fans that can lift you up in down times; because it is nice when people notice the hard work you have put into your career.The best thing is having a strong support group around you, loving friends and an incredible family."
