Mila Kunis is now promoting the latest Disney movie, “Oz the Great and the Powerful,” and, oddly enough, she’s doing so by talking about her intention to retire from the industry once she becomes a mom.

However, no need to fret, it won’t happen anytime soon, Mila says in a new interview cited by AceShowbiz.

“I want to be a present mom. When I was growing up both my mom and dad worked full-time in one location. I'm never in the same place for more than two months. How am I ever going to have a family like that? You have to make compromises,” she says.

Having been in the industry for long has also made Mila realize that longevity is not guaranteed, as neither is popularity. This means that, 5 years from now, she might not be in demand anymore, in which case, she won’t be sorry she quits.

“The truth is I don't think I can do this for the rest of my life. I want a family, like one day, not tomorrow,” Mila adds.
