Even though she was one of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry during the prime of her career, Cameron Diaz decided to step away from it all. The Hollywood actress recently opened up once again about why she walked away from her acting career. Here’s what she has to say.
Cameron was best known for her roles in “There’s Something About Mary,” “Charlie’s Angels,” and “The Holiday,” but the last time she was seen on the big screen was back in 2014 when she played Miss Hannigan in the film adaptation of “Annie.” Speaking to Kevin Hart on his new talk show, Hart to Heart, Cameron says that she just felt like it was the right time for her to step down.
Cameron Diaz Opens Up About Why She Walked Away From Acting
She put it this way, “When you do something at a really high level for a long period of time, when you’re the person that is delivering one thing, you’re the person on the screen, all parts of you that isn’t that has to sort of be handed off to other people.”
Cameron said this included “different parts of my life, my home, every aspect, from finance, just the management of me as a human being, not me as Cameron Diaz the machine. For my personal, spiritual self, I was realising that that one part of me that functioned at a high level wasn’t enough. It’s fun to do, I love it, I love acting, I could go forever, I sometimes feel like I have unlimited energy and inertia. I just looked around and there were so many parts of my life that I wasn’t touching and that I wasn’t managing, and I couldn’t really manage, because everything was so massive.”
The actress also said that when she turned 40, it felt like the right time to reassess her life.
She said, “I have a lot of great friends and incredible people who supported me for so long, and I believe it’s about the people you have in your life who help you keep things moving. I had some amazing people but I had other people who were not serving my best interests always, but you don’t have time to figure those things out if you are just going with blinders on, you’re in the tunnel. For me, I just really wanted to make my life manageable by me. My routine in a day is literally what I can manage to do by myself.”
