On her part in Black Swan: “It was the first movie I didn’t have to audition for,” she recalls. “I was absolutely shocked. But I never questioned Darren [Aronofsky] about why he cast me. I didn’t want him second-guessing it.”
On what she likes to do: “I love doing comedies,” she says emphatically. “They’re just as hard, if not harder, to make work, compared with a drama. You work 17 hours a day, and you have to try to make things different and funny and relatable onscreen all at the same time. To find one that’s timeless is hard, because something you think is funny now won’t necessarily translate as something funny a year from now.”
On choosing her roles: “I know people say this all the time, but it’s true: I don’t ever want to work for the sake of working,” Kunis says. “I was very lucky to have a show [That ’70s Show] for eight years. Now I can sit back and think about what I want.”
