Quotes

Don't let the haters give you self doubt. We are powerful and there is magic within us. We will soar high, and the negativity will be wallpaper to our art.

I felt a huge lack of support from within the community and even from friends. They loved to talk about me, but didn't know how to say congratulations.

Instead of allowing other people's negativity to bring me down, I reached a point where I went the opposite way in my head with this bad a$$ attitude, and I used it to fuel me.

[On meaging Jennifer Lopez for the first time] I'm pretty sure I was just staring at her like a stunned possum. I took a deep breath and thought to myself, 'Alright Parris... that's your one time being starstruck. You better cut that out and be normal if you want to continue working with these celebrities.'

I have always wanted to bring my team with me and provide as many opportunities for women in New Zealand as I can. From day one, I've always wanted us all to win.

We females grow up thinking stereotypically long, beautiful hair is a reflection of womanhood. We really value our hair and sometimes we even hide behind it. When I was bald I felt there was no hiding. This was me.

There were so many barriers that were put in front of me growing up, even just being in New Zealand. It hasn't been an overnight success. I've been working towards this for ten years now.

We didn't have heaps of opportunities, so for me to make it to where I am is like one in a million, and I understand that. I am just trying to make that number grow so that there's more girls making it and doing what they want to do, because I just feel so blessed, and I know it's possible, so I am just trying to show them the path and show them that it's possible.

I always loved dance, I just couldn't help it, I was so passionate and obsessed with it so as soon as I started taking classes, I just knew it was what I wanted to do.

I just think it's really scary sounding [being a role model], so the best that I can do is be me and embrace who I am, what I look like and the talent that I've been given and just embrace it to the fullest. I try to be the most authentic me that I can be, in the hopes that inspires other women around the world to do the same.

When you have people that believe in you, you just have that undeniable belief in yourself - that's why I never gave up.

In a way it means everything to me, to be recognised by the world's most influential people and as an artist that's what you really work towards - to be recognised by the best and in my own way, to be the best that I can be. I do feel blessed but at the same time I've worked hard and I know where I should be in my career so it just feels right.
