Cameron Diaz takes a very dramatic turn in 'My Sister's Keeper' as the mother fighting against her youngest daughter -- genetically engineered to be a match for her leukemia-stricken older sister -- who now wants medical emancipation from her parents. It's a far cry from her usual roles as the wacky, yet lovable woman. Diaz talks to Vogue -- on newsstands May 26 -- about the role, the unexpected death of her father at the age of 58 from pneumonia and more
'My Sister's Keeper,' her upcoming film: "It's about falling in love. It's about all different kinds of love. Parents falling in love with their children. Children falling in love with their parents. Falling in love for the first time. Falling in love with being a teenager. All of the things that you fall in love with, that our hearts give way to over a lifetime, and then the heartbreaks when those things get taken away."
Her father's shocking death: "I think, emotionally ... it definitely took its toll. Definitely. It's the human experience. You know, that's what the heart does. Things are given to us, and things are taken away. And I think the heart becomes stronger, more capable."
Unusual roles: "People who put labels on themselves limit themselves. If you are a woman who’s been labeled as a sex symbol, for instance -- I mean, I am not saying that's the label people would apply to me. But if you see yourself that way, inevitably you get to a point when you are no longer a sex symbol. And if you can't move past that, you're putting a limit on yourself; you’re arresting your development. And that’s where I think a lot of women get in trouble."
