Cameron Diaz: 'Long-term love bulls***'

Cameron Diaz has claimed that she isn't in a rush to settle down with a long-term partner.

The Knight and Day star, who is rumoured to be dating baseball player Alex Rodriguez, revealed to Stylist Magazine that she is still enjoying the single life and content with playing the field.

She said: "I think the big misconception in our society is that we're supposed to meet the one when we're 18 and we're supposed to get married to them and love them for the rest of our lives. Bulls**t.

"Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years? Why not break it up a little bit?"

Diaz also repeated her aversion to rushing into marriage, adding: "I think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person but if that's the case, don't do it.

"Have someone for five years and another person for another five years. Life is long and lucky and yes, love might last forever, but you don't always live with the person you love forever."
