Cameron Diaz is looking beautiful (right, because THAT never happens!) on the cover of W magazine. She’s on the new May 2008 issue.

Some highlights from the interview:

On arriving late to the W Magazine interview at Bowery Hotel’s Gemma restaurant: “I’m so sorry. Mercury is in retrograde, and that messes with technology, and I was trying to get on e-mail to approve something, and my computer kept crashing….(furiously wipes her lips with her hands) I feel like I have stuff all over my mouth. Do I have, like, gunk on my lips? Am I grossing you out? (giggles) It’s like, eewwww, gross!”

On loving the New York experience: “You can walk down the street and end up in a gallery or some wonderful ethnic-food restaurant, or you can stop in a shop that sells, I don’t know, staplers from all over the world! You don’t get that in L.A.—that kind of, I don’t know, specialty.”

On her preference of NY over LA: “Those guys [the paparazzi], you can’t get away from them. You have no options because everybody’s in a car. Here, I can walk down the street like everybody else. [In New York], not everybody is there to be rich and famous or attach themselves to rich and famous people. People want nothing from you. They just want to say, like, ‘Hey, how’s it going, Cameron?’ I like that interaction. I like to be in a place where I can be open to people and not worry about the consequences.”
