It hasn't really made it easier getting film work. It's not like I can call up a studio or a producer and say - insert haughty voice here - 'It's Parker. I guess you might know me as the indie queen. I'm wondering if you have any projects for me to be in.'
When I first came in the game, I had a bunch of homies that rapped that was hanging around me just because I was getting the rap attention, and they felt they could feed off of that.
I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.
Not only did I come out as a reality star that was very boisterous and vivacious and outspoken and all those things. I flipped that into money and respect. And a lot of people can't do that.
If you win the Oscar, you get to go into just about anybody's office for a month.
My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra.
Sometimes people offer you plays, they offer you parts, but they only offer it because I'm famous.
When you're Judy Garland and you want something, you just pick up the phone and call somebody. Anybody.
What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.
It would be better to be recognized first for music, but people go with what they like. If I'm here because I'm recognized more so as a style icon, then, if I'm smart enough, I will use this opportunity to share more insight about my music.
The star family status can easily get you opportunities, but the offers dry up after a point when you don't prove yourself.
It's very difficult to juggle two careers, unless you're going to have someone put it all together for you. Because you're on TV, somebody just gives you a record deal - that's not how I'd want to get it, because it's just not real.
