Quotes

  • The physicality really was the hardest, everything else kind of came alongside that. Just transforming your body at the age of 26. I wouldn’t say I was alone in this, I think everybody across the board….if they played a dancer somehow, somewhere they got hurt. I’d say that was the most challenging for myself.—on the hardest part of her role in Black Swanhttp://www.flicksandbits.com/2010/10/26/mila-kunis-vincent-cassel-interview-for-darren-aronofskys-black-swan/4314/
  • It came to me as an audition. It wasn’t anything different. I read it and it had the Hughes Brothers, Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman attached. What was I going to do, say, “No, I don’t think this is a good project”? No, it just came to me and I was like, “Great!” And then, I went and auditioned for it and read with Denzel. And, I went in and auditioned for it again and read with Denzel, and that was it.—on the Book of Eli scripthttp://moviedriver.wordpress.com/2010/01/10/interview-mila-kunis-of-the-book-of-eli/
