Actress Cameron Diaz, who is dating rocker Benji Madden, says life is ‘easier’ without children.
Diaz says deciding not to have a family was not ‘easy’ but was never ‘drawn’ to being a mother, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
‘It's so much more work to have children. To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for, I didn't take that on. That did make things easier for me. A baby, that's all day, every day for eighteen years. Not having a baby might really make things easier, but that doesn't make it an easy decision,’ she said.
‘I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother. I have it much easier than any of them. That's just what it is. Doesn't mean life isn't sometimes hard. ‘I'm just what I am. I work on what I am. Right now, I think, things are good for me. I've done a lot. And I don't care anymore,’ added the 41-year-old.
