Quote of the Day: Mila Kunis
Actress Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, Black Swan) immigrated to America from the Soviet Union when she was seven. This is from a recent interview in "W" magazine:
Question: What was the first thing you remember seeing of America?
Mila Kunis: A black man. It was at the American embassy [in Moscow], and all I had known were Caucasian people with blond hair, brunette hair, and sometimes red hair. You’re never really taught about anything else. I think I was frightened. And the beautiful thing was, the man spoke Russian. He explained to me that there are people in this world who are of different color. Being seven and a half, I asked him, “Does that mean there are purple people in this world?”
