Quotes
- Cameron: Life is a journey. My life is no different than anyone else's life, and some days I've got it all figured out and other days I'm like, 'What the hell is going on?' That's the human experience.
- Cameron: I used to be able to eat anything I wanted and then go right to bed. Fried chicken, onion rings, half a bottle of wine. But as you get older, your insides rebel.
- Cameron: It would be great to start a family at some point. [But] I like my sleep. That's why I don't want a baby right now. I want my sleep.
- Cameron: (On her body) It’s a roller coaster like any other relationship you have. Like with your car, you’re like, ‘I just love this car- it drives so fast!’ And then you’re like, ‘God, I really need a new car…I wish I at least had another cupholder.’
- Cameron: (on being involved in the "Shrek" movies) I like being a part of something that has such integrity, that delivers a message as well as providing entertainment, that pushes the limits every time, particularly with technology. Every time they deliver something new and better than they did before, so just being a part of that is really wonderful.
- Cameron: (declaring she thinks sex holds the key to all of life’s problems) Sex is the most amazing stress-reliever. I think it’s the best thing for everything. It should be 100 per cent part of everyone’s life on a day-to-day basis. We’d all be a lot happier! I love to get my heart rate up and I love sweating. Sex is undoubtedly the best way to do that!
- Cameron: Tabloids don’t sell movies or help anyone’s career. If that were true, every Lindsay Lohan movie would open to $80 million.
- Cameron: I get a lot of people telling me I look like Cameron Diaz. I tell them my sister gets it more than me.
- Cameron: (on her love of surfing) I actually didn't learn to surf until the end of the last Charlie's Angels shoot. So I've only been surfing for three years. Everybody thinks I've surfed my whole life, but I just picked it up. Probably because I grew up in California, people think I've always done it, but we would only go to the beach in the summer. My folks worked full time so we would take the bus to the beach and we'd hang out there all day. I never surfed because I didn't have anybody to teach me how to and I didn't have a surfboard, but I bodysurfed all the time.
- Cameron: I think people get married these days because they can get divorced. But saying, "I can get married, because I can get a divorce"? I don't like that.
- Cameron: (on being called a “typical California girl") Are you calling me typical? I beg to differ. Well, I'm from California. I'm naturally a blonde, so there I go falling right into the stereotype. I smile a lot, I'm happy. But I can be sad. I can muster it up!
- Justin & Cameron: (a joint statement released in January 2007) It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another.
- Cameron: (prior to getting her nose fixed) I’m getting it fixed. I cannot breathe at all. One side of my nose is totally shattered. My septum is basically like a derailed train.
- Cameron: I had a major girl-crush on Pamela Anderson. Still do - she's hot as ever - but she was my first. When I first discovered her I was like, 'Wow, she's so beautiful!
- Cameron: (on duets with boyfriend Justin Timberlake) We sang a couple of duets in the car once…. They didn’t go so well.
- Cameron: Grease is the only cure for a hangover.
- Cameron: French fries. I love them. Some people are chocolate and sweets people. I love French fries. That and caviar.
- Cameron: I'd kiss a frog even if there was no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs.
- Cameron: I was a tough kid with the jeans, the concert shirt with the flannel over it, the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair.
- Cameron: I'm a pretty girl who's a model who doesn't suck as an actress.
- Cameron: Most men are the same. They're only interested in f*cking you and they don't care whether you're happy or sad. They just want to get on with their business in and out of bed, and they make you feel that you don't count except as their sex toy.
- Cameron: Your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do. So I take every opportunity.
