9 Stars Explain Why They Don't Feel Pressure to Get Married

— -- For many people, the pressure to get married and have a family can be a lot.

For celebrities, it's magnified, with the question constantly coming up in interviews. Most recently, Cameron Diaz was asked in a Marie Claire cover story if she wanted to tie the knot.

"I’m not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff," she told the magazine. "I’m living, not thinking what I should or shouldn’t be doing with my life."

She's not alone. Here are other celebrities who aren't making marriage a top priority.

1. TAYLOR SWIFT: Taylor Swift told InStyle magazine recently that at 24, she's only had three relationships, all lasting four months or less. "I’m too young to get married. Not agewise, but I know myself, so why try to meet someone right now when I know I’m too young to do something serious?" she said. Motherhood is also not on her mind and may never be, she added: "I don’t know if I’ll have kids. It’s impossible not to picture certain scenarios and how you would try to convince them that they have a normal life when, inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies."

2. SARAH SILVERMAN: Sarah Silverman, 43, is happily dating her boyfriend of several months, Michael Sheen, but don't expect to see her wearing an engagement ring any time soon. "Just read that I wanna get married which is hilarious b/c I will never get married," she wrote on Twitter. “Why would I want the govt involved in my love life? Ew. It’s barbaric."

3. JON HAMM: Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt first met in 1997 and have been together since. However, the "Mad Men" star, 43, has said that he doesn't "have the marriage chip." "Neither of us have the greatest examples of marriages in our families," he told Parade in 2010. "But Jen is the love of my life, and we’ve already been together four times longer than my parents were married."

4. CHARLIZE THERON: In 2011, Charlize Theron, who is now dating Sean Penn, told Piers Morgan that marriage was "never something that was important [to me]." "I really want for myself a long-term relationship, and I have been in long-term relationships," the actress, now 39, said, according to People. "That's the kind of union that I want. The actual ceremony is not something that is important to me, but I see the importance for other people."

5. RASHIDA JONES: Just before turning 38 this past February, Rashida Jones told the Guardian that she feels differently about her single status than she used to. "I had the full princess fantasy: the white horse, the whole being saved from my life, which is ridiculous. What do I want to be saved from? My life's great!" she said. "But it's just this weird thing that's been hammered into my head culturally: that's the only way to succeed, that's the only thing that counts for a woman. I'm happy, but the fact that I'm not married and don't have kids – it's taken me a long time to get to a place where I actually am OK with that, where I actually don't feel like I'm some sort of loser."

6. MINDY KALING: Mindy Kaling and Jones had similar epiphanies. "In my 20s, I was not only boy crazy, but marriage and relationship crazy," the 35-year-old TV star explained to Flare magazine last month. "Now it’s almost the opposite. My work is so rewarding and I’m so self-centered about it that I’m kind of excited about not having to go home and ask someone about their day."

7. SHERYL CROW: She's been engaged, but Sheryl Crow, 52, has never married. "I've been set up before. It's funny — my guy friends will tell me, 'I don't know anyone good enough for you.' And I keep saying, 'Lower your standards!'" Crow, a mother of two young boys, told Good Housekeeping. "Hey, I would love to get married — I'm still old-fashioned. But I don't think marriage is the be-all and end-all."

8. CHELSEA HANDLER: Chelsea Handler, 39, doesn't ever expect to tie the knot, having said that she's not "the marrying kind." "Now I'm just like, the person that's not getting married so I like it and I think it's a good example to not have that be part of your identity," she said in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow. "The truth of the matter is, I don't really know how to balance a relationship and my life. I've never been able to really do that."
