CAMERON Diaz likes to keep her love life out of the spotlight.
The actress — who has previously dated singer Justin Timberlake — says 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,” Diaz, 37, told Parade magazine. “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.”
Diaz also revealed her tips for dealing with heartbreak.
“Oftentimes, the way that we learn is to have our heart broken,” she said. “As many times as we fall in love, our heart gets broken. But heartbreak is always a part of life, from not making a team in your favorite sport to your parents having a fight.
“Life is full of ups and downs. You can’t know happiness without sadness and vice versa. The great thing about getting older is you become wiser and you gain knowledge and you grow. There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s a wonderful thing.”
Diaz recently revealed that she’ll quit Hollywood when it makes her unhappy.
