Cameron reiterated that though she has a love for acting, there were so many parts of her life that she wasn’t touching and wasn’t managing.

“When you do something at a really high level for a long period of time, when you’re the person that’s sort of delivering on this one thing, everything around you, all parts of you that aren’t that, has to sort of be handed off to other people. Just, the management of me as a human being … Cameron Diaz is a machine. But for my personal, spiritual self, I was realizing that one part of me that functioned at a high level wasn’t enough,” Diaz explained.

Cameron shared that while she had some amazing people in her life, she really wanted to make her life manageable on her own.

“My routine in a day is literally what I can manage to do by myself. It’s amazing. I feel full. I met my husband, we started a family. All those things that I didn’t have the time for before, and not just didn’t have the time for, but didn’t have the space to make the right decisions for me at the time,” she added.
