Rumer Willis has said that she doesn't owe her blossoming acting career to her famous parents.

The Sorority Row star, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday in Las Vegas, claimed that having Demi Moore and Bruce Willis as her mum and dad helps secure auditions, but never guarantees her a role.

"You can't do anything about who your parents are," she said. "I think everyone has opportunities and everyone has doors that are open to them in different ways. If you're talented you'll get work."

She continued: "If you suck then you won't. In the end, talent is all that matters because you could go and get an audition, but if you go in there and you suck you're not going to get a job.

"In terms of my parents, they let me make my own way. They've just been entirely supportive and extremely great in that way so I couldn't ask for anything better."

Sorority Row is out in September.
