Cameron Diaz Shows a Different Side in Vogue

By The Twirlit Team on May 21st, 2009

Actress Cameron Diaz is known for her comedic roles in movies such as “There’s Something About Mary,” where she made that memorable scene with Ben Stiller’s “hair gel,” as well as roles in the Shrek movies and “What Happens in Vegas,” with Ashton Kutcher.

She’s known on sets for her sense of humor and that LAUGH. Here’s an example,

“If you really want to torture me, sit me in a room strapped down to a chair and put Mariah Carey on. Over and over again.”

But, in the June issue of Vogue Magazine, Diaz shows a more subdued, mature side of her personality even wearing a non-revealing crisp white shirt on the cover.

On her new film, “My Sister’s Keeper,“- “It’s about falling in love. It’s about all different kinds of love. Parents falling in love with their children. Children falling in love with their parents. Falling in love for the first time. Falling in love with being a teenager. All of the things that you fall in love with, that our hearts give way to over a lifetime, and then the heartbreaks when those things get taken away.”

On taking on an unexpected film role- “People who put labels on themselves limit themselves. If you are a woman who’s been labeled as a sex symbol, for instance—I mean, I am not saying that’s the label people would apply to me. But if you see yourself that way, inevitably you get to a point when you are no longer a sex symbol. And if you can’t move past that, you’re putting a limit on yourself; you’re arresting your development. And that’s where I think a lot of women get in trouble.

On getting older- I mean, I’m not 25 years old anymore, nor do I want to be. I wouldn’t even want to go back to being 30. You know what I mean? That journey—I’ve done it already. I don’t want to do it again. It’s a lot of work to get through it, and I am excited about moving forward. I think that people get caught up in getting back to some place that they already passed. Or to a place where you cannot stay.”
