Cameron speaks exclusively to InStyle magazine for their July issue and discusses everything from work, to love, to being a parent. Diaz, who is currently not a parent, claims that she doesn’t want to have children. While her revelation isn’t exactly world-shattering, since plenty of people consciously make the effort to not have children, she speaks rather lucidly — and in a well-educated manner — about her rationale behind avoiding biological children. Diaz states:

“Having children changes your life drastically, and I really love my life. Children aren’t the only things that bring you gratification and happiness, and it’s easier to give life than to give love, so I don’t know. That kind of change would have to be either very well thought out, or a total mistake – a real oops!”

But claims that she’d totally do the aunt thing:

“I can be a pretty good aunt, but whether I’m a good aunt or a crappy aunt is really not remotely the same question as me being a good parent or a crappy parent. It doesn’t quite have the same impact.”

I mean, I know I come across as surprised that the girl’s got some intelligent, well-formed thoughts bouncing around her huge melon head, I still don’t know what I expected her to sound like in “real life.” A series of grunts, followed by a few belches, some incoherent babble and farts? Maybe. But then maybe I’ve just seen Shrek one too many times.

   Ha! she'll adopt in her old age.. she's opposed to being a mom because of her freedom.. but that flimsy excuse won't hold water when she gets fifty, and is truely alone.

   Being childless does not equate to being alone if you have friends….

   and if having children is your solution to not being alone, you've got bigger problems.

   Agreed. She has formulated more carefully stated positions, than, for example, any of the editors of this esteemed gossip blog have collectively since its inception. And that's not saying much.

   Thank you Cameron. I'm sick of people acting like I'm evil for not wanting to have children. I have a plethora of hereditary disorders, so not only would I pass my miserable genes on to my child, but my disorders make it extremely difficult for me to handle being around children. I have super bad anxiety and have no patience for noise and mess and sleep deprivation.

   I mean, I know that I meet as surprised as the girl has some intelligence, well-formed thoughts bouncing around his head melon huge, I still do not know what I was expecting it resembles to "real life". A series of grunts, followed by rote, some incoherent chatter and pets? Maybe. But then maybe I just saw Shrek once too often.

   i recall a few old mag interviews, speaking on similar topics and in a well thought and expressed manner as here… this was 8 or so years ago.
