Cameron Diaz has claimed that she never went off the rails because wild partying and drug taking never seemed "interesting" to her.
The 40-year-old actress explained that although she has been tempted to engage in the excesses of Hollywood, she has always restrained herself.
She told the new issue of Esquire: "It just wasn't interesting for me. There's more I want out of life.
"Not to say I didn't go through my phases, but any time I was in danger of any of that, I was like, 'Come on Cameron, that's not who you are'. There's so much to gain by not doing that stuff."
Elsewhere, Diaz, who earns a reported $20 million per movie, added that she still cleans her own toilet.
She said: "I think your foundation is your foundation. I work as hard as it takes. That's the essence of who I am.
"So for me, I'm not thinking, 'Hmm, what is it like to do that?' I already know.
"And I'll jump into it at any time. I can scrub my own toilet. And I can scrub it against the best scrubbers of toilets. We can do a scrub-off!"

it's a boring feeling
neither doing drugs nor not doing drugs is grounds for acting superior tbh, for chrissakes can't everyone just let people do (or not do) what they want
I don't really drink and the idea of partying/etc doesn't interest me *kanyeshrug*
Parties (not the club kind) can be fun, but for other reasons.

dr: do you smoke?
me: no
dr: do you do drugs?
me: no
dr: of any kind?
me: no
dr: do you drink?
me: no
dr: really?
me: yes really...
In my head I'm like "bitch are you judging me?"
I don't mind however having a couple drinks with friends and chatting the night away...

i'm way too reserved :/
I loved her character in that movie
it's lame, i know, but i was feeling pretty wiped out
"let's have a scrub-off!!"
am i supposed to feel endeared to her and think she's ~~one of us~~ now?
"hi gais i'm super fucking rich BUT i can, like, scrub a toilet and throw my own trash away too!"
idk if i'm hungry or if i'm actually annoyed by her face and what she's saying
(btw do you run SA? because i love that place!)
u sure don't sound 20
or, idk... lol, i work third shift AND take adderall, so i'm literally no help. also i've always been a night owl anyway so until my rx i spent years sleep-deprived because i stayed up late anyway
don't force yourself honestly. be happy you haven't fucked up your sleep schedule and can get consistent, early, good night's sleep. your life will be better in the long run tbh
finally overcame some serious addiction issues, luckily. i was living a horribly unhealthy, unproductive life for years, drugs (the "death" drugs anyway, as i like to call them - opiates, booze, pills - the things you can't just do in moderation) fuck you up faster than anything tbh
(don't get me wrong though, hallucinogens/entheogens ("life" drugs hehe) can be used by healthy individuals can be used in moderation for psychological/spiritual growth purposes... if a person uses them responsibly!)
