Having trouble feeling happy about your crow's feet or a few grays? Then you need to check out the empowering message Cameron Diaz shared in a recent interview with People magazine.
"I don't want to look like I did when I was 25," says the 41-year-old. "I like the way that I look now better than when I was 25. I can't help that other people may be uncomfortable with that, but that's not my responsibility to make them feel OK with the fact that I'm getting older. I'm OK with it. I like it."
The actress went on to denounce the anti-aging craze:
"There's no such thing as anti-aging," she says. "There's no such thing as turning back the hands of time, and it makes me crazy that we live in a society where that's sold to women—that we're supposed to believe that if we're getting older, we've failed somehow, that we have failed by not staying young. I wish that women would let other women age gracefully and allow them to get older and know that as we get older, we become wiser."
