Los Angeles, Jul 20 (IANS): Actress Mila Kunis says her own five-year plan is to step away from work, settle down and have children.

"In five years, I do hope to have a family, and, you know, who knows? I think in this industry people have such a short shelf life, truly, that I don't know what I'm going to be in five years in regards to acting," contactmusic.com quoted Kunis as saying.

Although the 28-year-old has a plan in her mind regarding her personal life, she is unsure about her career.

"I would love to produce. I can't form a sentence or write an email, so I know I am definitely not going to go and become a writer, but I would love to explore other facets of this industry, for sure.

"I am dabbling in that a little bit right now and trying to see what I like. But I don't know... I have always been a big proponent of not working for the sake of working, because I don't want to work for the rest of my life - I want to live. So I'd rather work to live than live to work," she said.
