The former actress said that she decided to really focus on her family relationships and friends after handing over control of certain aspects of her life to other people for many years.

"When you're making a movie, it's a perfect excuse: they own you. You're there 12 hours a day for months and you don't have time for anything else," he said.

“The actors are infantilized, they're always looking out for us.” Diaz said she never really felt comfortable with that kind of life and had to take responsibility after retiring.
