As per Cameron Diaz, her success didn’t come easily. She spent several hard years as a model before getting into Hollywood. Cameron said, “All of the sudden people say, ‘She’s got boobs and legs and blonde hair. Let’s talk to her!’ I’ve been paying dues for years in modeling. Not only that, it took a month and a half of Chuck Russell, The Mask‘s director, and Jim Carrey trying to get New Line to say OK on me. I didn’t sleep; I had an ulcer. Of course, when people talk of paying their dues, they mean years of going to acting school and auditioning.”
