The actress, who plays a dying mother in My Sister’s Keeper, told Parade magazine, "I have an unbelievable life. In some ways, I have the life that I have because I don’t have children."
"I don’t think it’s a compromise to have children. I don’t think it’s a compromise not to. I think it’s just a different choice," added Diaz, who does not dismiss the possibility of having children one day.
The star admitted that she understands people’s curiosity with the fact that she does not have any children. "I think that it’s normal for people to ask that, especially of someone my age, because it seems like the obvious thing: ‘Why haven’t you done it?’ It doesn’t bother me. It’s not the cross I bear," she explained.
