Cameron Diaz: 'Women get better with age'

Cameron Diaz has revealed that she thinks women get better the older they get.

The actress, who recently confirmed her relationship with professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez, told US Cosmopolitan that she feels she is a more rounded person now that she has matured.

"I think you get better as you age. You know what you want, and you become stronger mentally, emotionally and physically," she explained.

"But also, things have happened recently that have pushed me to grow. My father died, and having gone through that really made me think about my life and how I want to live it.

"I don't care what other people think. It's my life, I live it the way I want to."

Diaz recently teased that her upcoming role in comedy Bad Teacher is not "funny"
