Mila Kunis Quotations

I am... stubborn, and I admit it, so it's OK.

My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that.

I don't think it's true that blondes have more fun... Trust me, it is not true!

It is difficult because the school I go to, my friends do not attend.

It's not the most normal life in the world, but I screw up plenty of times to be a normal teenager.

I definitely hope to attend UCLA in a year, and major in business.

I grew up in the Ukraine 'til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.

My dad heard of a studio on the radio, and it was advertised as a place for kids to meet kids, and it was actually a studio, and that's where I met my manager and agent.

I am in the position where I don't have to work for the sake of working, so I'm very lucky, in a sense. So, I can always sit back and wait for a project that I respond to, that I want to do.

My whole life has revolved around acting so far!

Listen, I am such a nerd. I'm not one of those girls that goes, 'Ha, ha, hee, hee. I'm a nerd.' No, no, no - my brain mentality is the same as a 12-year-old little boy. The video games that I play, the things that I like to watch - I'm a Trekkie.

People have interpretations of what you're supposed to be like. If you're unattractive and overweight, you must have a great personality. If you're attractive, then you must not be the nicest person. People are always taken aback that I'm easygoing but not necessarily stupid.

Whether you know who Denzel Washington is or you don't, when he walks into the room, you're going to pay attention, because he's just such a powerful man.

I've said this before, but after 'That '70s Show' ended, I solely wanted do films that inspire me, and to work with people who make me better. I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.

The thing about ballet that I never knew about is that it's one of the most excruciating sports that I've ever been a part of. I say sports because they train constantly, every single day.

'Family Guy's got a strong fanbase, man, like no other. It's great. Everywhere around the world, it's pretty amazing. It's amazing that people love 'Family Guy' as much as they do. It's great.

Acting was a total mistake-it was just something that happened as an accident. I started auditioning as just an after-school activity, and somehow it just led to something more.

They put us up against Friends at one point. Someone up high in a suit just didn't believe in the show, and no one watched it.

Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the '90s as they did back in the '70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear!

I had a normal upbringing and went to public school. If I ever, even for a second, started getting a big head, I was brought back to reality pretty quickly. I was working full time and still had to fight for a cell phone.

I wanted to quit the industry when I was eighteen and finish '70s', finish my contract on the show and go to college because I was pretty convinced that after '70s' and after being on a show for eight years that I would be very much pigeonholed for something specific that I didn't want to be a part of anymore.

I get away with a lot of stuff that no one could get away with in reality!

I think playing coy is silly. Speak your mind. If a man gets turned off, he's the wrong man.

People strive to achieve a certain form of perfection constantly and it's impossible because it's a form of opinion. I can think someone is pretty but the person next to me can think that they're unattractive.

I was really good at saying no. I decided I was just going to say yes to any opportunity that came, no matter how crazy. And it changed my life.

They still put you in a room with these people who apparently have no difference whether you're making a family driven show or otherwise. But I do realize it's very sad to me. This is the first film [Oz The Great] that I've done that's not R rated. It's a really weird connection.

Christian Louboutins are uncomfortable, but I screamed the first time I put on a Pointe Shoe.

Confidence, not cockiness. Knowing who you are is confidence. Cockiness is knowing who you are and pushing it down everyone's throat.

Putting the makeup on, not a problem. Taking the makeup off, every night.... it makes your face swell.

I'd rather work to live than live to work.

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life, you know, better education, better jobs. It was probably harder, much, much harder, for my parents. When you're a kid, you can learn a language much more easily; I learned English in less than a year.

I grew up incredibly poor and went to school and had a very average upbringing.

Now a days, I don't think these things scare kids. I think that kids are so desensitized to violence and I don't mean this in a negative way what so ever, but, I just think it's the reality that I think that it's just all changing so I don't know.

I was never raised to think that I was pretty. It's not that I was raised to think I was unattractive, but it was just never something that was pointed out to me by my family. They would point out personality traits — 'our daughter is really quirky' — versus what I look like, because inevitably, looks go, so it makes no difference.

I am very much a creature of habit, and I have no life consistency. None.

If I'm not comfortable in my own skin or confident in who I am, then I'm going to pick parts based on how people are going to view them, not based on what I find challenging or entertaining.

If you imagine whipping your skin every day, that's what it does and it's a full prosthetic piece.

The downfall of the industry is that there is a lot of pressure in it, a lot of rejection in it and a lot of competition in it. It's a whole mess.

I think the second you think that you're funny is when you stop being funny.

What's funny about my group of friends is that none of us ever went to the same school. None of us lived in the same part of town.

I came to America when I was seven and a half in 91. I think the first full length book in English that I read was Return to Oz when I was nine years old.

I grew up in the Ukraine 'til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.

I think that an actor is more likely to be forgiven in the public's eye than an actress.

I stand by every movie that I did. I don't regret any decision I made.

I have an older brother who is 21 and attends UC Berkley.

I really, truly believe in learning from other people's mistakes.

I never dated Wilmer Valderrama. I never dated Danny Masterson. They're like my brothers. That's disgusting. That's wrong.

I've spoken about this completely independent of this movie prior to ever being attached to this film that as a kid the first movie that I remember seeing that resonated with me was the Wizard of Oz. I think just visually the color, the spectrum of it and how fantastical it was and how much you wanted to live in that world, for a nine-year old was so magical and so grand so I have the greatest, fondest memories of it.

Knowing who you are is confidence.

I'm not boring to be around. Something will always happen.

I showed sideboob. I don't need to show ass. You get one or the other. You don't get both.

You can do a movie for Disney or not. People will still ask you inappropriate questions. So in order to answer it, do I feel like there's a difference in promoting it? Apparently not.

It's fun working on the set... I usually work about 10 and a half hours a day, and I also study about five of those hours. It can be tiring, but it's fun!

I love swimming, tennis, and I am taking up golf. I am not serious about it, I just go to the range and practice. Other than that, I enjoy going to the movies and hanging out with my friends.

What I do and who I am are two different things. And they always will be,

I mean I think people prepared me for like a lot of green screen [in Oz the Great]. I didn't have a lot of green screen. They build most sets. When this castle was tangible, Emerald City was tangible, the forest, the woods was tangible, the cemetery, everything was there.

I honestly think being single's great. Being in a relationship's great. It's all about the timing.

Though she doesn't remember any trauma, she said that her parents told her she cried on a daily basis and her grandmother resorted to passing out candy so the kids would play with her. Though it was a humorous moment, Mila said, "I know, God bless her. She's an amazing, amazing woman."

That is the biggest form of bullying ever, the paparazzi. Printing lies, making accusations, it's just bullying.

[Oz the Great] it's not like I had to imagine things, and as far as wire work goes, I had fun with it.

I've definitely grown apart from a lot of my friends. Some of them don't understand the schedule, and it's not that I don't want to talk to them, it's that sometimes I am really busy and can't get back to them.

I don't live lavishly, so it's not like I have 20 assistants and travel privately and shop every day.

I come from television where I feel like I'm in people's living rooms every day so it's not crazy for me to think that like a ten year old would know, but, I don't know.

I had a snowboarding accident. I fell off a horse. I've had a concussion, a fractured rib... I walk into walls. I'm always bruised up.

I think that certain things are funny and certain things are okay to make fun of - including myself.

I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do.

I'd rather be in love and have a baby than have a movie.

I'm a huge, huge, huge fan of Steve Carrell and Tina Fey for years.

I love playing different characters and I love doing fun things and I love to entertain people, whether that be in a comedy or a drama. If I get you to laugh or I get you to cry I'm super stoked, as morbid as that might sound.

I've never dated. I can say this honestly: I don't know what it's like to date. But also, how am I going to date? I'm not in one state long enough.

Detroit was really fun, FYI, in case anybody wants to go to Detroit. I love it. I did.

I've always wanted to drive cross-country.

I've always been a fan of Kate Winslet. She's very classy and a sexy little thing, too.

I'm still a 'Star Trek' fan. You never stop being one.

I think that what kids watch now a days is different than what kids watch when I was young so I don't know. I think that it's up to the parents to decide. That's the truth. I'm not a parent. I have no idea, but I think some parents let a ten year old watch it and some parents wouldn't.

Always have a backup plan.

My glass of wine and I are besties.

The green thing I don't think frightens kids. It frightened me when I was like little because I didn't have the internet and didn't have all these other things that were, you know, in front of me at all times and accessible.

'Family Guy''s got a strong fanbase, man, like no other. It's great. Everywhere around the world, it's pretty amazing. It's amazing that people love 'Family Guy' as much as they do. It's great.

I do not play games, but always just say what's on my mind. Ostentatious modesty - for fools. If a man afraid of your honesty, it means that he is not the one you need.

There was a company that I did a photo shoot for once that manipulated the photo so much, I was like, "That's not even me." Like, what's the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I'm not. I absolutely hate it.

Another important thing to learn is that kids have a personality that has nothing to do with you.

I have a really sweet daughter. She wants to hug all the other kids. I didn't teach her to be sweet. It has nothing to do with me.

I will say this, though, in regards to laundry. I'll say, "Do you need to wear a new pair of jeans every day?" We've worked on this for the past year and he [Ashton Kutcher] now doesn't need to wear a clean pair of jeans every day. My laundry has gotten cut down immensely.

Having a newborn you have to teach yourself what patience is or you'll go crazy.

It's been the greatest gift that I've been given. Because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until I had a kid. And then all of sudden I was like, "Oh. I have to be more patient." They were all like, "Yeah! We've been telling you that for twenty years!" And I find it to be a gift. Every day I'm more patient.

For me, my lack of patience in real life - I have always had very little patience. It's been very much my downfall in life. But having a child puts it in perspective. Very quickly you're like, "Oh, I need to learn what patience is."

I can't imagine loving somebody more than I love Wyatt [my son]. I can't. I just don't know how that's possible.

I'm such an exposed and aware person.

Whatever will happen will happen.

As an actor, you travel so much. It isn't great for a marriage.

Mine doesn't even know there is laundry. It just magically gets done.

I've had that conversation! "You had a minute! Why didn't you do that?" So if husbands could read our minds that would be great.

You want baby daddy to be one step ahead of you. Which they can't be, so it's a weird thing to ask for. But I have.

It'd be nice to just hear, "You did a great job." I don't say this from personal experience because I have an amazing husband who is an amazing father. I say this knowing he does it all the time. He's always great about saying, "You were amazing today." He does it without me having to ask for it and there's something so beautiful about not fishing for that compliment from your partner that gives you that much more of stability and confidence.

Dads - and people in general - should keep in mind that we as mothers put enough pressure on ourselves. We don't need outside pressure put on us.

"Well, we knew it. Women can't sell movies".That's what it used to be like. "Well, this movie did well, but it's a fluke."

To your point earlier if a female movie does well they're like "Oohhhh! I can't believe it did well! Maybe the next one will do well, too."

I was exhausted from fake partying. I was like, "I just danced for nine hours. Goodnight, ladies!"

In a marriage, you and your partner come first.
