Finally! Playboy released the extended excerpts from their interview with Cameron Diaz, and I’m happy to say that she no longer sounds Jennifer Aniston-ish and self-helpy. The biggest quote, the one line that everyone is talking about already is Cameron’s description of the many long-distance relationships she’s had over the years. This is how she explains it: “Oh gosh, I can’t even count how many times I’ve gotten on a plane for love. It’s not unusual in this business; my lifestyle demands it. I’m always traveling for [whispers] c-ck. You’ve got to go where it is.” Amen, sister. Right now I’m looking at a big hunk of Scottish mobster beefcake, and I would do countless “lay-overs” for a piece of that. Anyway, the full Playboy piece is here, and her are some of the better excerpts:

On whether or not she’s seen Seth Rogen high: “I might have seen Seth high but didn’t completely know it. I went to a party one night where I think there was some stoneage. People were definitely pretty baked, but I didn’t partake with him at that time. [laughs] He might have been high the entire time for all I know.”

On Snoop Dogg, who attended her high school: “Snoop was a year older than me. He stood out. He was tall and skinny and wore ponytails all over his head. I’m sure I probably bought weed from him.”

On her embarrassing encounter with Jeff Bridges: “I saw Jeff Bridges at this year’s rehearsal for the Oscars ceremony. I didn’t know what to say, but I rushed over and was like, ‘Um, hi. Congratulations on everything. You must be so excited,’ and he gave me this sideways look and smile. We just didn’t connect. There was no response. I was like, Okay. Then I started sweating and thinking, Wait, he’s nominated, right? Or did I just totally make an ass of myself?”

On the types of roles she chooses: “Working with Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York put a lot of things in perspective for me. I saw the way he worked and the outcome of his hard work. I could do exactly what he does and have completely different results. Why would I put myself in the position of trying to do something only Daniel Day-Lewis can do?…I do the roles I do because of the person I am.”

On others’ opinions of her work: “Whether other people consider my accomplishments to be successful or not doesn’t matter to me. I don’t give a f-ck what other people think. I have my own standards I live by.”

On her famous booty: “My booty has been on hiatus from film but certainly not from everyday life, where it doesn’t stop moving. It’s in constant sway and has a mind of its own. On camera, though, there just hasn’t been an opportunity for it to assert itself lately.”

On her primal instincts: “I’m primal on an animalistic level, kind of like, ‘Bonk me over the head, throw me over your shoulder. You man, me woman.’ Not everybody has the right kind of primal thing for me…I love physical contact. I have to be touching my lover, like, always. It’s not optional.”

On the widespread belief that Anna Faris mocked Cameron in Lost in Translation: “She’s lovely, talented, funny, and I love watching her. I have no ill feelings toward her whatsoever. You can’t hurt my feelings. I’m the first to make fun of myself.”

Ooooh, I’ve never heard Cameron directly address that Lost In Translation rumor/fact/theory, that the character Anna Faris played was based on the way Cameron Diaz flirted with Sofia Coppola’s then-husband, director Spike Jonze (who directed Cameron in Being John Malkovich). While I’ll buy that Cameron doesn’t have any ill feelings towards Anna Faris, I would love to know how she feels about Sofia. And I would love to know how Sofia feels about Cameron. That would be an awesome bitchfight. Also, I couldn’t help but chuckle at her Jeff Bridges story. He must have been like, “Who is this crackhead?”

By the way, these photos are from last night’s Knight and Day premiere in Spain. I don’t hate the dress, but the hair and makeup is totally off. Camy looks hard, you know?
