CAMERON DIAZ refuses to put a "timeline" on her life after her plans for marriage and motherhood in her twenties were "shattered" when her career took off.
The actress took up modelling as a teenager before making the move into films, and landed her breakout role in The Mask at the age of 21.
Diaz has dominated headlines over the years for her high-profile romances with stars including Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake, but the actress is in no rush to settle down despite her early dreams of family domesticity.
She tells Redbook magazine, "I thought I was going to be married and have two children by the time I was 21. I think I felt I had to model my life after my mother’s.
"But then my career was starting to take off and there were still so many things I wanted to do. So that dream for me was shattered early on. After that I never put another timeline on anything in my life.
"I’m sure a lot of people would expect that I would have had a child by my age. But it’s not what I’ve wanted out of my life thus far. There’s a box people put themselves in, and when you (live) outside of it, that makes them uncomfortable - they have to look at themselves and question their own choices."

SACHA BARON COHEN has apologised to RYAN SEACREST for the ash-spilling prank he pulled on the TV presenter at the Oscars in February (12).
The funnyman dressed as the title character from his new film The Dictator to walk the red carpet at the Hollywood awards show, and tipped what he claimed to be late North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il’s remains all over the American Idol host in a stunt to promote the movie.
However, backstage at this weekend’s (05-06May12) Saturday Night Live show, Cohen made amends with Seacrest - and the actor’s wife Isla Fisher also apologised for her husband’s antics.
Speaking on his radio show on Monday (07May12), Seacrest revealed, "I saw Isla Fisher and I said hi, and she said these words, and then it dawned on me. She said, ‘I apologise for my husband.’ And I said, ‘Oh, yes, yes, gotcha, thank you, thank you very much for saying that’… I didn’t realise her husband, The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen, was doing a walk-on cameo (on the show).
"He comes off stage, comes over to me, breaks character and says sorry about the Oscars, it wasn’t personal. (He was) very very apologetic and genuine and kind and sweet." Cohen also told Seacrest he wasn’t the original target for the prank.
Seacrest adds, "He started telling me how it went down. Originally he said that they were going to spill whatever it was in that urn on George Clooney. Someone decided that wasn’t a great idea because he was up for a lot of nominations, it was a big night that night. Then they somehow spun the wheel of tragedy and landed on my name."

Representatives for JOHN TRAVOLTA have moved swiftly to shut down a new lawsuit accusing the actor of assaulting a male masseur, insisting the allegation is a "baseless lie".
The plaintiff, identified only as John Doe, claims the Grease star touched his genitals and offered up a sexual proposition after hiring him for a massage.
The alleged victim recently filed assault and sexual battery charges against Travolta in a federal court, but the actor’s legal team has dismissed the suit and has vowed to take its own court action over the allegations.
A statement released to E! News reads, "This lawsuit is complete fiction and fabrication. None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie… On that date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast.
"Plaintiff’s attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution." The unnamed victim is seeking $2 million (£1.25 million) in general damages, unspecified punitive damages and court costs.

A trial between the former runway beauty and her French billionaire ex began in New York’s Manhattan Family Court last week (ends04May12), after Evangelista demanded a massive $46,000 (£28,750)-a-month to support her five-year-old son Augustin James, who was conceived while Pinault was briefly separated from his now-wife, actress Hayek.
