The 28-year-old, who rose to fame on 'That 70's Show' at the age of 14, said being the daughter of poor immigrants from Ukraine has helped her develop the thick skin she needs to survive in Hollywood, reported Contactmusic.

"You build it up. My dad always said I have a really good backbone. I grew up in LA, I didn't grow up wealthy or even middle class, we were pretty poor and you learn how life works very quickly. The best advice I've been given? That sometimes it's OK to be wrong - you can't always play it safe," Kunis said.

The actress is currently riding high on the success of her films like "Black Swan" and "Friends With Benefits".
