I have gratitude. I know myself better. I feel more capable than ever. And as far as the physicality of it, I feel better at 40 than I did at 25.
Cameron DiazYou shouldn't hate another women because she is beautiful and you shouldn't hate yourself because another women is beautiful. Like, that's the trap that women fall into so much and they are like โShe is so beautiful I hate herโ. I could never say something like that about another women. I celebrate everyone's beauty. Celebrate their beauty and celebrate your own, find the beauty in yourself.
Cameron DiazDon't you know that when you sleep with someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not.
Cameron DiazI have always had the same New Year resolutions: To stop smoking, to start wearing a bra, and to stop shopping.
Cameron DiazI think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person, but if that's the case, don't do it. Have someone for 5 years and another person for another 5 years.
Cameron DiazI haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask, I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts, to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.
Cameron DiazI make films for myself, first and foremost, just because it is such a personal experience, and it's something I really have to want to do and feel connected to.
Cameron DiazComparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. Once you compare yourself to someone else, what you're really saying is that what you're made of isn't good enough.
Cameron DiazI believe there are many soul mates, because my soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different.
Cameron DiazEverything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.
Cameron DiazI love the feeling that you get when you can really laugh with a man and be natural and not always think that there's a sexual element going on. For me, flirting with a man means making fun of myself and trying to open myself and be very unpretentious.
Cameron DiazTMยฎ is helping you tap into something that's already inside of you - that's you in essence.
Cameron DiazThere's a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it's healthy.
Cameron DiazI learned and it was exactly what I needed [Transcendental Meditation]. The thing that blew me away was that it was the easiest thing I've ever done- not the easiest meditation, but the easiest thing I've ever learned. I learn a lot of things- that's my job! It's so simple to learn, so simple to practice. And the restoration that comes to you, the benefit across your life; it's changed everything.
Cameron DiazI can be attracted to a woman sexually, but it doesn't mean I want to be in love with a woman.
Cameron Diazthink people get scared that theyโre not going to be able to do it perfectly - theyโre going to be criticized - theyโre going to be like, โWell, Iโm not totally green.โ Well, you know what? At this point we donโt care... Just a shade of green is enough right now. Move a little bit closer towards this. Because the more people start moving closer and closer to it, thatโs something that collectively makes a difference.
Cameron DiazWomen are capable of doing so many things these days, physically, emotionally, within relationships and career. There are so many things that women have evolved into and I feel really proud about where women are right now.
Cameron DiazI will always want to do whatever it is that my heart is in, and whether I get paid for it or not means nothing. It doesn't matter. I'll do it if it means something to me and I want to be a part of it.
Cameron DiazIt's been nice not having a boyfriend. I could be in a relationship if I wanted to be, but I haven't finished doing what I'm doing. I like boy, a lot. I'm boy crazy. That hasn't changed since I was very young.
Cameron DiazThe first country that I went to outside of America was Japan and I was completely shocked - especially since I was 16 and over there by myself. I was like: "I don't get it; there's nothing in English!"
Cameron DiazThere's no such thing as turning back the hands of time, and it makes me crazy that we live in a society where that's sold to womenโthat we're supposed to believe that if we're getting older, we've failed somehow, that we have failed by not staying young. I wish that women would let other women age gracefully and allow them to get older and know that as we get older, we become wiser.
Cameron DiazI write constantly, but only in my journals. I have three of them: one for travel, one for home, and one I write in before bed. But the last thing I want is other people reading it... What's really fun is reading your journal, like a year later.
Cameron DiazOne of the great things about being an actor is that you do get to indulge in someone else's life.
Cameron DiazMy ass is definitely higher than it was when I was 20. This is the thing that people don't understand - take care of your body [and it will] get better! It gets better as I get older.
Cameron DiazThe mystique and the romance of a big wedding are lost on me. I don't think that I could ever do something that extravagant. I am not much of a planner. I would probably make the phone call 20 minutes before the bus leaves for the chapel and ask if anyone is available to come. That's probably how my wedding is going to end up.
Cameron DiazI read a quote the other day that said comparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. And what happens is that you're saying that you're not good enough.
Cameron DiazI do feel like there's a spirit and a tone you can set that lets people know that they're appreciated for being there. It's a sense of spirit that I think every film should have.
Cameron DiazI think humor is the best gift, and if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
Cameron DiazI am in love with life. I think it's pretty awesome when you are engaged in it. I love my family and my friends, and that to me is the biggest...that's the love of my life are my friends and family and the experience that I get to share with them. It puts a smile on my face and in my heart.
Cameron DiazI don't say that I won't do nudity for other people's benefit. It has nothing to do with other people's, it's just what I'm comfortable with. I can't say this enough, I'm totally comfortable with my body. I like my body, I don't think it's a bad thing, I think I have a nice body, I'm happy with it.
Cameron DiazYou have to really enjoy (being sexy). Not fake anything. Sexy is being in the moment, whether that means being coy or coming on hard. Faking is always lame and it never comes across the way you want it to.
Cameron DiazI'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff. I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life.
Cameron DiazTo me, that's the wealth of my life: my friends and family and the experience I get to share with them.
Cameron DiazAll of the sudden people say, "She's got tits and legs and blond hair. Let's talk to her!" I've been paying dues for years in modeling. Not only that, it took a month and a half of Chuck Russell, The Mask's director, and Jim Carrey trying to get New Line to say O.K. on me. I didn't sleep; I had an ulcer. Of course, when people talk of paying their dues, they mean years of going to acting school and auditionin.
Cameron DiazI mean, I can get things done if I need to, but I can really be completely irresponsible and procrastinate until the very, very, very bitter end. In fact, sometimes I work better under pressure.
Cameron DiazWe've all gone through some kind of betrayal, whether it's with a boyfriend or a friend or a family member. That's why this is so relatable to everybody because we all know what it feels like to feel that betrayal.
Cameron DiazWhatever success people have in a field, it's a result of hard work. If you ultimately succeed in one place, you must have worked hard there or somewhere else.
