Cameron Diaz can resist the norms.
The 42-year-old actress, who graces the cover of Marie Claire's November 2014 issue, said that she is not someone who feels like she has to do something because that's what society dictates, most especially when it comes to settling down and starting a family.
"We live in a society where everyone has kids, so they want other people to have kids," the Golden Globe-nominated actress told Marie Claire. "There is this culture that says celebrities are supposed to be just like us, so people think, 'I have children, why doesn't she?' But I'm not going to do something because it's expected."
"If a family happens, then it happens," she continued. "If children come to me, then I would do that, but I'm not someone who feels like she has to do something because it's expected."
As for finding the right man, the "Sex Tape" star said: "I'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff. I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life."
Diaz has sparked speculation that she is already engaged to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden after she was seen wearing a shiny diamond ring set on her engagement finger (the fourth finger of her left hand) during two occasions last week.
She was first spotted wearing the ring set at the Hollywood Costume Luncheon on Oct. 8, and was seen wearing the same jewelry again while sporting a completely different outfit later that night on a romantic dinner date with her 35-year-old rocker boyfriend at Madeo in Beverly Hills, Daily Mail reported.
The jewelry set in question is comprised of a twisty, figure-eight design ring with diamonds and another diamond band. See it here.
Diaz and Madden were first linked in May, according to Hollywood Take.
The following month, the couple was spotted holding hands, confirming rumors that they were indeed an item, according to Hello Magazine.
