Cameron Diaz believes her 40s are the "best years" of her life.
The 41-year-old actress insists she's stopped stressing over the little things and has started embracing every day since she has reached the fourth decade of her life.
She told E! News: "I love being in my 40s. You know yourself and you don't give a s**t anymore. You really don't care what other people think. You let go of that things that don't matter ... It's a liberation. It's fantastic."
The 'Other Woman' star claims she wouldn't want to go back to being 21 again because it was a "horrible" experience she'd rather forget.
Thinking back, she said: "Who wants to be 21 again? That was horrible! It was horrible! It was not the best years of my life. The best years of my life are right now."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty recently admitted she hasn't used deodorant since her 20s because she believes antiperspirant locks in the bad smell.
She said earlier this week: "I don't believe in antiperspirant. It's really bad for you. I haven't used it for almost 20 years.
"You're stinky, because you use antiperspirant. It keeps all the stink in."

Seth Meyers is to host the Primetime Emmy Awards 2014.
The 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' host is set to front the 66th annual event for the first time on August 25, held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, which will air on NBC.
Bruce Rosenblum, head of the Television Academy, said last night (24.04.14): "Seth is such a talented performer and writer, and we know he will bring something unique to hosting the Primetime Emmy Awards."
The glamorous ceremony, which honours the best in primetime television programming, will be held one month earlier than usual, and on a Monday instead of the usual Sunday, because of NBC's contractual commitment to televise 'Sunday Night Football'.
Seth, 40, who has previously won three Emmy awards for his long-running show 'Saturday Night Live', follows in the footsteps of 'How I Met Your Mother' star Neil Patrick Harris, who hosted the event last year on CBS.
In 2012, Jimmy Kimmel fronted the awards on ABC, before taking over from 'Glee' star Jane Lynch, who led the ceremony for Fox in 2011.
Meanwhile, Seth was named as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people yesterday alongside Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Matthew McConaughey, Miley Cyrus and Amy Adams.

Solange Knowles goes out in public wearing a mask.
The singer lives in New Orleans with her nine-year-old son Daniel Julez, who she had aged just 17, and her video director boyfriend Alan Ferguson, and loves the city's laid-back vibe and vibrant culture, especially because no one looks at her twice when she covers her face in public.
She said: "I feel at home and there's literally never a dull moment. You can walk out of your home and experience 12 different things that you've never seen before. And which other city can you walk around with a mask on and its OK? I'm able to roll around anonymously all the time."
Solange, 27, has grown up in her older sister Beyoncé's shadow and insists the superstar's success is well deserved because she has an "insane" work ethic.
She laughed: "I have never seen anything like it in my life, from anyone. It's absolutely insane. Now that she's become a mother, the way that she's able to balance that is so inspiring. If I am ever feeling like I want to open up my mouth and complain about how hard I am working, I think, 'Uhhh! Sit down!' "
Solange decided to found her own Sony imprint Saint Records last year and believes being independent has given her the freedom to be in control of her career.
She told ASOS magazine: "There is so much beauty to a lot of the industry but a lot of it I think is really s**t. There are times you see the people running things, and you think, there's no way that I feel, as a young artist, that I'm not capable of making those decisions.
"Not only do I want to do it myself on the music front, I want to put it out myself and see it through in every aspect, which feels really rewarding."

Michael Fassbender felt "vulnerable" wearing a giant fibreglass head in his new comedy 'Frank'.
The '12 Years a Slave' actor, who plays tribute to musician Frank Sidebottom in the movie about an eccentric rock band, had to get used to wearing the giant prop in every scene.
He told The Guardian newspaper: "It was kind of weird in the beginning, the way it sits on your head. You feel a little bit vulnerable because you've not much peripheral vision. You can't hear that well either.
"But it's quite liberating as well, in the way that masks are. It's amazing how many emotions that face manages to convey. It can look vulnerable, it can look sinister, at times it looks confused."
He insists he eventually felt "comfortable" wearing the head and claims he decided to do the quirky film as a homage to Frank, the alter-ego of musician Chris Sievey, who passed away in 2010, even though he hadn't heard of the star, because he found the story funny.
He explained: "The script just made me laugh out loud. I thought there were also poignant moments there. It's a very unusual story, a real standalone. If it's refreshing to read, it's hopefully refreshing to watch."
'Frank', which also stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Domhnall Gleeson, premieres at the Sundance London film and music festival today (25.04.14) and will be released on May 9.

Eve is to have her bachelorette party at the Gumball Rally.
The 35-year-old rapper - real name Eve Jeffers - and her fiancé Maximillion Cooper will take part in the 3,000-mile international motor rally, which will see them travel across two continents and five countries in seven days in separate cars, as part of the run-up to their wedding celebrations.
The couple met and fell in love at the London rally in 2010, so Maximillion, who is the founder of Gumball 3000, is pulling out all the stops by closing down Regent Street in London on June 8, before making a pit stop in Edinburgh, where he proposed to Eve last Christmas.
The couple will then travel on to Ibiza, Spain, for the finale party before tying the knot three days later.
Maximillion said: "The idea of driving 3,000 miles all the way from Miami to get to our wedding in Ibiza sounds pretty crazy, but we met on the Gumball back in 2010 when Eve participated as a celebrity guest of Puma.
"So incorporating the rally into our wedding plans seemed to be appropriate. I think the drama of this adventure suits our lives and driving together with 100 other supercars will undoubtedly be a lot of fun, especially as these six days will double up as my bachelor week!
"Incorporating Edinburgh into the route and stopping off in London just adds to the romanticism, having met in London and proposed on Christmas Day in Edinburgh ... I can't wait!"
Meanwhile, other celebrity stars taking part in the rally, which kicks off in Miami, are to be announced soon.

Ray Fisher has been cast in the Batman-Superman movie.
The stage star has been tapped to take on the role of Cyborg opposite Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in the as yet untitled superhero team-up flick.
The part of Cyborg, a member of the Justice League whose real name is Victor Stone, isn't a major one in the future blockbuster, but sources have told Variety that Fisher's part will become much more important over the next few years as Warner Bros. and DC Comics start making more films about the crime-fighting Justice League crew.
The all-star cast also includes Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams, with 'Man of Steel' helmer Zack Snyder directing from a script by David S. Goyer.
Fisher is known for his Broadway roles including his portrayal of Muhammad Ali in 'Fetch Clay, Make Man', and recently screen tested for J.J. Abrams' sci-fi epic, 'Star Wars: Episode VII'.
Cavill discusses the development potential of the Cyborg character in a bonus for the 'Man of Steel' DVD, explaining: "I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity."
The Batman-Superman feature is due in cinemas in May 2016.

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer thinks there is "almost no reason" for the band to ever release another album.
The 63-year-old musician claims records don't make any money and the 'Crazy' hitmakers would have to pay for it themselves.
He told Ultimate Classic Rock: "It would be great to make another record, but it's almost [like], 'Why bother?'
"Records don't sell, and they don't do anything. There are no record companies to pay for it, so you have to pay for it out of your pocket.
"Especially with us now, because we're a free agent - we're no longer with a record company."
The drummer insists the band - also made up of Steve Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford - used to make money from selling records but their last album, 2012's 'Music from Another Dimension!' didn't do as well as expected and their income now comes from touring the world.
He continued: "Artistically, it would be fun to make another record and it would be a beautiful thing if we can put it together.
"There's almost no reason to do it, you know, judging from the last one and how it went over.
"It's frustrating, because personally I think it's a really good record. It's an Aerosmith record and it was done the way we used to do them."
But he claims certain things held it back, including the state of the music industry at the moment.
Joey added: "Music now is so disposable. It's so, like, 'Okay, here it is and five minutes later there's something else'. We're not the Justin Biebers and the Nicki Minajs of the world, so unfortunately, records don't make sense."

Lily Allen is planning to apologise to Rita Ora and models Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn over songs on her new album.
The 'Hard Out Here' hitmaker, who is about to release her new record 'Sheezus', appears to hit out at the stars by joking about celebrities who attend corporate events.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "I still need to write letters to Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne.
"The song where I appear to slag off Rita and Jourdan is very much the same premise as Cheryl Tweedy. It's not about them, it's about the idea of them."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old star, who has made her comeback after a four-year hiatus, was copied into harsh emails about her new material from a focus group when her record label carried out market research for her new album.
She told Pop Justice: "I accidentally got copied in on a whole bunch of it and reading it was one of the most horrible moments of my life.
"They don't actually tell the people what it is that they're listening to. So a lot of it was just people going, 'Is this Lily Allen? It f****ng is Lily Allen', 'If this is her I thought she'd fucking retired, the stupid ****!'"
She insists she found the bad feedback, which she received six months ago, "totally unhelpful" for her career.
Lily added: "The thing is, people who take part in market research: are they really representative of the marketplace? Probably not."

The Libertines will headline Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park.
The indie band have confirmed they will reunite for the London concert on July 5, supported by Pogues, Spiritualized, Maximo Park and The Enemy.
The band posted on their Facebook page today (25.04.14): "It's official... THE GOOD SHIP ALBION IS SETTING SAIL SOONER THAN YOU THOUGHT. We're HEADLINING BST Hyde Park, 5th July."
Frontman Pete Doherty previously hinted the band would play the gig after admitting he is suffering "financial difficulty".
The musician hopes the large sum of money he will receive for reforming with co-frontman Carl Barât, drummer Gary Powell and bassist John Hassall will help clear the huge debt he accumulated after discovering he had fathered an 18-month old daughter.
According to musicharger.com, Pete - who already has son, Astile and daughter Aisling from previous relationships - told an Israeli newspaper: "I'm in debt. It's very complicated for me to say 'No' right now, I have financial problems."
The group also teased their appearance at the festival by posting a picture of Hyde Park to their Facebook page.
Despite splitting up in 2004 following arguments in the band, The Libertines - formed in 1997 - temporarily reunited to play at Reading and Leeds festivals in 2010 and received praise for their performances.
Metal band Black Sabbath, Sir Tom Jones, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The National, McBusted, Little Mix, The Vamps and the Backstreet Boys will also play British Summer Time taking place between July 4 and 13.
