Cameron: My Last Couple Years Were Hell
Apparently, even dating Justin Timberlake isn't enough to keep Cameron Diaz on cloud nine. In a new interview with Jeanne Wolf of movies.com, the Charlie's Angel calls her last couple of years “hell” and “so hard.” (Like, she can’t even tell you.)
Diaz, 34, also goes into the difficulties of overcoming prejudice against pretty people. (Indeed, it is so hard. Like, we can’t even tell you.)
See below for excerpts from the interview in which Cam shares her eco-friendly vision for Shrek 4 and why surfing is a religious experience.
On being in hell:
"The last couple of years were hell. Like, I can't even tell you, it was so hard. I didn't know how to handle it. But I think I'm in a much better place now, because I stepped away for a second and took a breath. Hollywood is a funny place. It offers so much, but it can also take a lot away from you."
On pretty prejudice:
"If a woman who's a successful actress weighs 300 pounds and has warts, nobody ever asks her, 'Do you think you made it because you're ugly?' So why should there be prejudice against someone who's had some success in films and looks a little better than average. It's all in my genes, so don't hold it against me."
On her trips to Hawaii:
"I was just there doing a lot of surfing. I love it. It's definitely a spiritual experience, the closest you can get to Mother Nature, which is God to me. You get to ride all this energy that's traveled across the ocean for thousands of miles, and you get to usher this distant traveler to its destination on the shore."
On the secret to being a good ogre wife:
"I felt strongly that I didn't want Fiona to come off as naggy. I hate naggy."
On bringing her eco-conscious views to Shrek:
"For the next Shrek, I'd like to create the ideal kingdom of Far Far Away, where there would be no carbon emissions … work an eco-friendly message into the story. Maybe the swamp could be in danger from an environmental disaster or something."

I've always thought she was the biggest doofus (just listen to her laugh). I don't think she's at all pretty.
