Cameron Diaz has not appeared on the big screen in more than seven years, but the former actress says she is in no rush to return.
In an interview with US radio show Quarantined with Bruce, Diaz, 48, revealed that becoming a mother has shifted her priorities.
"Will I ever make a movie again? I'm not looking to, but will I? I don't know. I have no idea. Maybe. Never say never," she said.
"But I couldn't imagine being a mom now where I'm at as a mother, with my child at her first year, to have to be on a movie set that takes 14 hours, 16 hours of my day away from my child."
The Holiday star has one-year-old daughter, Raddix, with her husband Benji Madden. Madden is the lead singer of rock band Good Charlotte.
"I just feel so blessed that I get to be here now with my child and, you know, get to be the mother that I get to be," she said. "It's such a blessing, it's completely privileged, and I'm just really, really grateful."
Diaz retired from acting in 2014 after more than 20 years in the business, appearing in films such as There's Something About Mary, Charlie's Angels and The Mask. Speaking of the decision in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow last year, she said: "I just decided that I wanted different things out of my life. I had gone so hard for so long, working, making films and it's such a grind."
Packages which the US Secret Service said contained possible explosive devices were sent to:
- Former first lady Hillary Clinton
- Former US president Barack Obama
- Philanthropist and businessman George Soros
- Former CIA director John Brennan at CNN's New York bureau
- Former Attorney General Eric Holder (delivered to former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz)
- California Congresswoman Maxine Waters (two devices)

Four tips to secure IoT networks
Mohammed Abukhater, vice president at FireEye in the Middle East, said:
- Keep device software up-to-date. Most come with basic operating system, so users should ensure that they always have the latest version
- Besides a strong password, use two-step authentication. There should be a second log-in step like adding a code sent to your mobile number
- Usually smart devices come with many unnecessary features. Users should lock those features that are not required or used frequently
- Always create a different guest network for visitors
