Cameron Diaz Won't Have Kids Just Because She's Expected To
Cameron Diaz glows in a red dress on the cover of Marie Claire magazines November 2014 issue, on newsstands October 21.
Heres what the 42-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On her role in Annie: Its not very often you get to do a musical. Even though I was terrified of doing it, I kind of had to. The two things Im most terrified of are heights and singing in front of people. Ive jumped out of airplanes and scaled sides of cliffs not to get over my fears, but to address them. I just felt like this is something that needed to be addressed. I cried uncontrollably. Everybody was so supportive and having fun with it because I was so pathetic, but the only way to get through scary things is to have a sense of humor about it.
On appearing fully nude for a film: People have seen my butt. Ive shown the top of my butt, the bottom of my butt. Im not opposed to doing nudity, as long as its part of the story. Ill do whatever has to get done if its the right thing.
On having children: We live in a society where everyone has kids, so they want other people to have kids. There is this culture that says celebrities are supposed to be just like us, so people think, I have children, why doesnt she? But Im not going to do something because its expected. If a family happens, then it happens. If children come to me, then I would do that, but Im not someone who feels like she has to do something because its expected.
