Mila Kunis has such a happy life going on. Her fame has soared this year and that is all thanks to her role in the Oscar-winning movie "Black Swan" alongside Natalie Portman. Her latest film "Friends with Benefits" has her teamed up with Justin Timberlake, portraying the role of two pals who introduce a sexual element to their friendship. Mila also hit the headlines following her split from actor Macaulay Culkin after an eight-year romance. Despite all the changes in her life, her feet remain firmly on the ground which is something she gives credit to her family.

"There was never an option for me to go into a downward spiral because my parents are incredible people. I went to work, I went home and my friends weren't in the industry. My best friend has been my best friend since I was nine years old. So I never thought of myself as anything other than a 15, 16 or 17 year old," Kunis explained to the September issue of UK magazine Glamour. "What I do and who I am is not the same person. But sure you can get lost in it. This industry can eat you alive," the actress added.

Mila loves her job as an actress but it is not the center of her life. Being with friends and family is much more important to her and she thinks some people take Hollywood too seriously. The star rarely goes to showbiz parties or celebrity hotspots as she does not want to live out her personal life on camera with the preference of being known for her work.

"My friends and family is my number one thing in my life but you need a healthy balance. It's not to say my goal in life is to have a family and kids and let that be my number one priority either. This is a phenomenal job but the most important lesson I've learnt is that you never want to let your only source of happiness come from something that's so filled with uncertainty," Kunis explains.

After ending her relationship with Macaulay in January, Mila noticed a big interest in her romantic life. There are constant rumors that she is dating men she is spotted with and many remain convinced she is in a secret relationship with Justin Timberlake. She knows it is part of the business she is in, but Mila sometimes gets bored of the attention. "Being single, I find myself not being able to be in a room with a man without, the next day, I'm dating that man," she laughed. "That happened for a solid six months when maybe I'd been in the same room."

When it comes to men, Mila is more interested in personality than looks. She likes her partner to make her laugh and has a soft spot for sarcasm. Her sultry good looks make a lot of people surprised when they find out that the actress is single. "If somebody finds me attractive, God bless them. I think it's fantastic," she giggled. She avoids thinking about that sort of thing and does not see herself beautiful.
