Indie movies got co-opted by the studio system. The studios insisted that only stars could make movies successful.

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.'

They love putting me in the 'indie queen' box. I had some high standards in my 20s that I don't have anymore.

You really don't get paid in these independent movies, no matter how many people see them.

Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I've just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable.

The culture is eating nature; it's overpowering storytelling. Movies are turning into games - it's abut the image, not nuance.
