Cameron Diaz Returns to Acting

Greatly, this reflects her overall ability and desire to be active in finding purpose in her life and allowing herself to make important decisions for herself.

While making some heartfelt comments, Diaz provided more insight into why she chose to go off the radar. It was something that I felt had to be done in order to take back control of my own life, she further went on to say. What this honesty indicates is that there is a greater inclination to be more self-caring and self-satisfied rather than succumb to the calls of Hollywood and its expectations. A member of the audience asked for her progression’s motivation, but she was emphatic that it arose entirely from her rather than being forced or encouraged by someone else.

Love for the Family

Thinking back to her life, she placed much emphasis on the topic of family and passion. It really comes to: what are you passionate about? she articulated. Her answer was: constructing a family.
