CAMERON Diaz has learned to love herself.
The Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle star says she refuses to go through life hating herself because other people don’t like her.
“I don’t think that self-deprecation is healthy for people,” she says. “I think you should have a healthy relationship with yourself. We all have our up days and our down days. But I’m not going to walk through this world hating myself because somebody doesn’t like me or doesn’t think I’m pretty or that I should be ashamed that people think that I’m pretty.
“How am I going to live my life trying to figure out what everybody else feels about me? All I can do is know how I feel about myself.”
Diaz, 37, recently insisted she’s happy to her love life out of the spotlight — because she doesn’t want details of who she’s romancing splashed across blogs, magazines and TV shows.
“Love lives of the famous are distractions from people’s own love lives,” she said. “There are some celebrities who like to sell their own experiences, who are just out front with it. And that’s something that people can buy. And there are other people who have their moments stolen from them by the media and by the paparazzi.
“Then millions of readers and TV viewers occupy their time with those stolen moments. If I’m missing from the pages and the blogs and the shows, I don’t think that’s such a devastation.”
“I don’t have to prove anything to anybody,” she adds. “I know who I am. I have my own sense of myself. And the things that I do, I do for myself and to challenge myself and to have my own experience.
“I’m in a completely different place in my life now and I’m very comfortable where I’m at. I’m looking forward to the future. I’m looking forward to this afternoon and tomorrow and the next day and a month from now.”
