Cameron Diaz Doesn’t Like Being Popular

Cameron Diaz is still in NYC on her promotional tour for Shrek the Third. She claims she is one of those popular kids you saw at school, but boo hoo, it’s hard to feel sorry for a girl that has money, fame, and beauty. Here’s more from an interview with Jeanne Wolf of movies.com:

On life in Hollywood:
"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 being successful and pretty:
"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."
