Cameron Diaz Thinking Quotations

I think that anything that you do, any accomplishment that you make, you have to work for. And I've worked very hard in the last ten years of my life, definitely, and I can tell you that hard work pays off. It's not just a cliche.

People think I'm trying to make a fashion statement because I never wear a bra. It's really that I'm a tomboy at heart.

Acting is something different to everybody. I just know that if you watch an actor or actress getting better and better, I think that's them just understanding themselves better and better.

I think I've become more comfortable about being a human being.

Oftentimes, in fact I think this is to my fault, I look at usually scripts as a whole. I should probably pay more attention to the character that I'm going to play and what they do.

I don't even own a TV because I think it's the devil.

I 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.

Friendships I think can also be soul mates.

There's a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it's healthy.

I 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.

The 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.

I 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.

I think that women are afraid to say they don't want children because they're going to get shunned.

I think people get scared that they're not going to be able to do it perfectly, they're going to be criticized, they're going to be like, "Well, I'm not totally green." Well, you know what? At this point, we don't care. Just a shade of green is enough right now. Move a little bit closer toward this. Because the more people start moving closer and closer to it, that's something that collectively makes a difference.

I think humor is the best gift, and if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

I 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.

I'm not ashamed of being a bubbly, funny person. I think that's as valid as being the dark, brooding, tortured Oscar-nominated one.

I think story-telling is innate in human beings, it's something that we've done since we scrawled across cave walls.

The last couple of years were hell. Like, I can't even tell you, it was so hard. I didn't know how to handle it. But I think I'm in a much better place now, because I stepped away for a second and took a breath. Hollywood is a funny place. It offers so much, but it can also take a lot away from you.

I think we have to make our own rules. I don't think we should live our lives in relationships based off of old traditions that don't suit our world any longer.

I love to cry. It's such a great release. If I'm just tired - jetlagged, I didn't get any sleep, I want to cry. I think it's important to cry.

I think truth has no temperature.

I'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.

I think a lot of people are married to people that they're not romantic with anymore. I just didn't ever marry anybody that I then had to get divorced from. We break up. We move on.

I 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.

I was expecting like 10 kids to show up. It's exciting. A few of the kids came up afterward and said, 'This is so great, this is something I'll remember.' Hopefully, it's something they'll be thinking about when they are sitting down trying to create.

I kind of bought into thinking I would like to do images that are great images rather than just a model who sells clothes, ... I didn't think of them as pornographic. I didn't think of them as perverted.
