Different parts of my life, whether it was my home, or every aspect – from finances, or just the management of me as a human being, not me as ‘Cameron Diaz. But for my personal spiritual self, I was realizing it was that one part of me that functioned at a high level wasn’t enough.”

Cameron Diaz stated that she loved acting but realized there were other aspects of her life that she was not managing.

“It’s fun to do, I love it. I love acting. I could go forever. I literally feel like, sometimes, I have unlimited energy and inertia. So many parts of my life … that I wasn’t touching and that I wasn’t managing. I couldn’t really manage it because it was so big. It was so massive.”

Cameron Diaz has been enjoying her life after retirement by focusing on her family and also a variety of other projects and we couldn’t be happier for her. Cameron Diaz might be retired from acting, but Hollywood would likely welcome her back with open arms.
