She told Ok! Magazine: 'To be able to still do this at such a high level with people like is a thrill for me.

'I'm glad I took a break and I was able to focus on family and a part of my life that means so much to me but I still love doing this. It's the best job in the world.'

She added that she 'loves' being a mother and that it is the 'best' part of her life.

Discussing being an older parent she added: 'I'm just trying to stay alive just like every other mother.' 

It comes shortly after she opened up about her distaste for Botox and other cosmetic procedures, as she prefers to embrace natural aging. 

Over a decade ago, she said she 'regretted' how Botox 'changed' her face and revealed she stopped wearing heavy makeup in her 40s. 

'I've tried [Botox] before, where it was like [a] little tiny touch of something,' she recalled. 

'It changed my face in such a weird way that I was like, 'No, I don't want to [be] like [that],'' she told Entertainment Tonight in 2014. 

She added: 'I'd rather see my face aging than a face that doesn't belong to me at all.'

A source close to Cameron also previously revealed that she used to be 'under pressure' to get work done, but 'hated' how Botox changed her natural appearance.

'It's no secret Cameron used to get a little bit of work, just like everybody else in her industry, she was under pressure to get Botox and all that stuff,' the insider told OK Magazine.
