Mila Kunis dishes on Pilates, motherhood and aging

Actress Mila Kunis has resorted to taking Pilates classes in the wee hours of the morning to avoid the hordes of paparazzi that constantly follow her around in Los Angeles.

"I always get photographed in the morning, when I’m running errands or going to the gym," Kunis told the March 2013 issue of Playboy. "So in all the photos you see of me I’m in sweatpants because it’s seven a.m. and I’m going to Pilates. I’ve now resorted to going to Pilates at six a.m. to see if I can beat the paparazzi."

Mila, who denied pregnancy rumors after her recent 25-lb weight gain, is concerned about getting older because of Hollywood's obsession with youth and beauty.

"There’s a documentary you should see called 'Searching for Debra Winger,' about how this industry affects women in their thirties," says Kunis, 29. "Realistically speaking, it’s hard. If I’m lucky enough to have a career remotely close to [Meryl Streep], great. I’m not going with the expectation of having one. It’s one in a million; it’s not the reality."

Mila says she'll probably cut back on acting once she has children. "It’s weird that at the age of 29 I’m talking about aging in this industry, but the truth is I don’t think I can do this for the rest of my life," she says. I want to be a producer. That’s really what I want, because I love this work in a weird, sick way. But I also want a life. I want a family — one day, not tomorrow."

Mila, who's dating actor Ashton Kutcher, doesn't want to be a harried working mom who's constantly traveling, but wants to be around for her kids.

"I want to be a present mom," she says. "When I was growing up both my mom and dad worked full-time. 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. If that means I do one movie a year, if people still want to see me and hire me and I don’t suck by that point, great. But my only source of happiness can’t be dependent on something so fickle. And I find this industry to be incredibly fickle."
