Mila Kunis quotes
- Blondes definitely do not have more fun. Trust me.
- [On her That 70s Show character, Jackie, switching
boyfriends from Kelso to Hyde]: "I think her relationship with Steven
has taught her to be less selfish".
- [Denying false reports of marriage]: I've been engaged. I think I've
already been married. And I'm sure I have a child somewhere. I'm
waiting to have something else happen. No, I'm not married. And no, I'm
not engaged. And no, I do not have a child. No one seems to listen. And
next week I'll be engaged again. I think, at one point, they were like,
'Seen shopping in Beverly Hills for engagement rings.' We were in Japan
working. What is wrong with these people? Half the time you can say
they misconstrued facts. But, more often than not, they just make stuff
up.
- Well I was in Russia. I wasn't allowed to be religious. My whole family
was in the holocaust. My grandparents passed and not many survived.
After the holocaust in Russia you were not allowed to be religious. So
my parents raised me to know I was Jewish. You know who you are inside.
You don't need to tell the whole world. You believe what you believe
and that's what's important. And that's how I was raised. My family was
like 'you are Jewish in your blood'. We can celebrate Yom Kippur and
Hannukah but not by the book. We do it to our own extent. Because being
in Russia...Bar Mitzvahs weren't held. When I was in school you would
still see anti-Semitic signs. One of my friends who grew up in Russia,
she was in second grade. And she came home one day crying. Her mother
asked why she was crying and she said on the back of her seat there was
a swastika. Now this is a country that obviously does not want you. So
my parents raised me Jewish as much as they could and came to America.
I love my religion. I think it's a beautiful religion but I took parts
of it that I want for myself. I don't need to go to temple. I will, but
I don't need to.
