Cameron Diaz would rather be single than in an unhappy relationship.

The 'My Sister's Keeper' actress isn't afraid to walk away from a romance if it isn't working as she knows she'll be fine on her own.

The 37-year-old star - who recently split from British model Paul Sculfor - said: "You always find the person who you're meant to be with at that time in your life, and what I've also found is that you have to move on from those people at certain times, because that's the way it happens. For me personally, there's nothing wrong with that.

"A lot of people find themselves trapped in something that they've outgrown and are unhappy. And they don't know how to get out of it because they think that they're supposed to make it happen."

The blonde beauty - who has previously dated Hollywood heartthrobs Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake and Matt Dillon - is enjoying every moment of her life and doesn't feel under pressure to start a family.

She added to 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.

"People might say, 'That's bull. She actually really wants to have a baby.' My answer is, 'No!' Everything I'm bringing into my life right now isn't geared toward that."
