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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

'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'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.

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!

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.

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

There might have been guys with enough cajones to send over a drink. If I was hit on today maybe I just don't know it. I told my friend that I never get hit on and he's like, "You're crazy!" But as far as I know, no, I've almost never been hit on.

When you do a four-camera sitcom, everything is a little schtickier. It's not necessarily that you pick up bad habits, but there is just a very specific way of acting that you fall into on those kinds of multicamera shows, and you have to break those habits when you go in to do other things.

Chivalry is not dead and you should be a gentleman. But if you are going to buy a girl a drink, buy it. Don't just offer it. Follow through.

I think it's important to just be a good, honest person and be true to who you are.

You always want to challenge yourself and work with people you respect. You can't always go by genres, but it's always fun to challenge yourself.

I'm not out there screaming that women are drinking bourbon, but I think it's a great beverage as an option. I've got nothing against drinking a Cosmo or Martini. It's not like one is judging the other. It's just delicious and slow and steady, and there's something about sipping a bourbon that to me is very relaxing.

My nickname when I was young was Teddy, so people would call me Teddy Bear.

I think you can get away with so much more offensiveness when you're operating behind a stuffed teddy bear or a cartoon or something that's not real, because it's forgiven. It's like having a little kid in a movie curse - it's funny because it's not natural.

I think that when a person is insecure about who they are or who they want to be, then it translates on screen, and the choices they make are all about perception.

Five inches of snow in five inch heels, you can't look sexy and you can't look like you know what you're doing because you're fall.

You can't get mad at a bear for being racist. You can't get mad at a bear for being offensive. It's not real.

The school was very supportive. The only class that I had to attend every day was biology when we were doing dissections. I would take an 8 a.m. bio class, dissect my animal, and then run to work.

I don't necessarily put on an act when I go on Jay Leno or dress differently in public than I do in private. I'd like to think I'm the same person, more or less.

When it comes to picking parts, I do make an effort to choose parts that I want to do, and not necessarily parts someone else wants me to do, or parts that someone else is going to respond to.

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.

I actually live a very mediocre lifestyle. So I decided to step back and do things not just for the sake of doing them, but because I believe in them and I want to do them.

I think that you have to restrain yourself from googling your name and have other hobbies and desires and wants. You do a million things. You go to school, you write, you read, you blog.

If you do put yourself out there and do things that are not safe, then you run the risk of being criticized for it.

People criticize a woman for everything - like, I get criticized for how my hair looks when I go grocery shopping or the fact that I don't wear makeup when I get my nails done.

Women get scrutinized all the time for the way they look. So if I can learn to deal with that, then I do believe I can learn to deal with people's criticisms of my film choices.

My parents' biggest thing was that they just wanted me to graduate high school and go to college. They couldn't fathom me acting for the rest of my life.

I had such a great time doing commercials and things as a kid. My grandparents were on set with me all the time, and I loved that I got to hang out with them, so I will forever be grateful for that. But I just loved every minute of it.

I've always been a big proponent of not working for the sake of working, because I don't want to work for the rest of my life - I want to live.

If the bear were to make a racial comment, it would be more likely to get a laugh than if a person on stage were to make a racial comment.

I didn't get the Russian Jew part because they didn't think I looked Russian or Jewish enough - and, mind you, I am both Russian and Jewish - so I was cast as the racist Mexican.

I think that there are a lot of reasons to be insecure as an actress . . . But I don't really have a perception issue. I've been pretty good about being who I am in the public's eye.

I think there will always be a double standard between males and females, so I think that an actress is more likely to protect her public persona, so to speak, than an actor would be.

I have this odd tendency to be really sarcastic when I'm uncomfortable and I don't really know why but it just comes out and it's come out since I was a child.

The fact that there is no right or wrong is what I think is maddening. I can think you're a phenomenal actor, but the guy next door can think you're a horrible actor, and neither of us is wrong and neither of us is right. It's just a matter of opinion.

An actor goes crazy in a hotel room, gets trashed, throws a bench, breaks a window, and he is considered a rock star. An actress does that and she's sent to rehab and is thought to have problems and issues and can't get a job.

I feel like every role that you take there's a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it. I don't know if perfect is the right word because I don't believe in perfection and I don't think it exists but I think striving to do something well is in every single part.

I don't even have Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Why would I ever want to be viral when I'm not even on the Internet?

I think I have a good sense of humor, but I'm not, like, a joke-teller. I get the jokes, which is sometimes half the battle. Believe me, I have no idea why anyone hires me....

It's fun to play somebody who has no boundaries or rules. There's no book you can read on how to play a witch, so you just create a version. It's really great!

What made me feel empowered was the gun, not the clothes. Like if I had the gun, it didn't matter what your size was, what your stature was.

I make myself laugh all the time. I think I'm really funny. I do.

When it's a comedy or drama or horror or romance, it's all the same. You want to be honest with the character. You want to play truthfully and you want to be genuine with your character.

It took me five months to lose twenty pounds and it took me hours to gain it back. I mean it was magical how quickly it all happened. Going back to my poor eating habits after having really good eating habits my stomach was a little unsettled.

I think sadly in any industry and in any work related environments females always strive to achieve a certain amount of perfection whether they be skinny or pretty. It's constant in our society.

I enjoy living life and I enjoy going to different restaurants and eating my way through a country and going to different museums and learning about different cultures.

Honestly, after doing a TV show for eight years and a cartoon for more than a decade, you are, financially speaking, in a very lucky position where you don't have to work for the sake of working. And I decided to take advantage of that.

I was actually a pretty good student. My problem was that I didn't know what I wanted to study.

It's very possible that I could look like a kleptomaniac and a pathological liar and that's why I keep getting hired.

I am not a person of nature. I love to think of myself as one, but I've never even gone camping.

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think it exists.

I feel like every role you take, there's a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it.

I'm very lucky, I do have an amazing husband.

I very rarely get actually sad when ending a movie.

I started teaching myself, taking a breath or a moment that's not overreacting or having an explosion. It made me such a better person. Let alone a better mother, but also just a better human.

I think parenthood is just ripe for comedy. This just happens to be told from the perspective of women.

Any man that has had a mother, has a sister, wants to be a father will find this [movie Bad Moms] incredibly eye opening and hysterical and funny.

I've only been a mom for not even two years yet, so I haven't had much of a chance. But boy do I wish I could have lunch with my girlfriends in the middle of the afternoon. I don't remember the last time I had lunch in the afternoon with my girlfriends.

I don't wear makeup. I don't wash my hair every day. It's not something that I associate with myself.

My dad worked - f - k if I know - seven jobs? He painted a house. He would deliver toilets. He drove a cab, delivered pizzas. Whatever he could do, he did.

Growing up poor, I never missed out on anything. My parents did a beautiful job of not making me feel like I was lesser than any other kids.

It saddens me how much fear we've instilled in ourselves.

It doesn't matter if you're play-pretending crying or play-pretending laughing, you're still play-pretending.

I decided to do a comedy. It's a good mind-set to go into work and be happy every day instead of being in a dark place.

There are things you fantasize about doing and saying, and then ultimately don't because it's illegal.

Women innately have this weird thing where they try to have a perfect persona - to look perfect, be perfect, act perfect, have their kids look a certain way. Women put so much pressure on themselves.

I commend women who wake up 30, 40 minutes early to put on eyeliner. I think it's ­beautiful. I'm just not that person.

Children are f - king crazy. They're also suicidal.

When gay people can get married, then I'll get married.

You can handle anything.

I think all presidents should have teenage girls before they become presidents. If you can handle those hormones, you can handle anything.

If I could go back to my younger self, I'd be like, "Not everything's permanent."

Have a baby, and you realize: The second you think you got sh-t figured out, you don't. It's the greatest wake-up call.

In a marriage, you and your partner come first. And unless you and your partner are happy, that kid's never going to be happy.

My parents went through hell and back. They came to America with suitcases and a family of seven and $250, and that's it.

I don't know what it's like to not work; my family embedded that in me.

In a marriage, you and your partner come first.

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

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."

"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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
