Diaz: 'Celeb love lives are distractions'

Cameron Diaz has claimed that people use the love lives of celebrities as a distraction from their own relationships.

The actress suggested to Parade that she would prefer not to be in the public eye all the time.

Diaz said: "Love lives of the famous are distractions from people's own love lives. There are some celebrities who like to sell their own experiences, who are just out front with it. And that's something that people can buy.

"And there are other people who have their moments stolen from them by the media and by the paparazzi. Then millions of readers and TV viewers occupy their time with those stolen moments."

She added: "If I'm missing from the pages and the blogs and the shows, I don't think that's such a devastation.

"I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I know who I am. I have my own sense of myself. And the things that I do, I do for myself and to challenge myself and to have my own experience."
