I believe in eating as nutritiously as I can all the time… My mother raised me on fresh – rather than processed – foods, and that’s how I eat on a regular basis. – Malin Akerman
I’m a big pasta fan. I’m a big Italian food fan. Anything Italian – I love cheese, mozzarella. Mozzarella is my favorite, so I have to say anything Italian, I’ll take it. – Malin Akerman
I love when you get to work with people you know because there’s so much more trust, and you’re much more willing to be vulnerable in a scene with someone you trust. – Malin Akerman
It’s a great beauty tip, if you ever want to look five years younger, to shave off your eyebrows. It’s amazing what it does. It really shaves off the years. – Malin Akerman
As a girl I wanted the Cyndi Lauper hairstyle, with the shaved side of the head, or the Sharon Stone perm from ‘Total Recall.’ – Malin Akerman
I love the Coen brothers. They’re so brilliant, and they always surprise you in one way or another. ‘A Serious Man’ was awesome. I like stuff like that, that kind of throws you for a loop. It takes you on a journey that is unexpected. – Malin Akerman
Turns out, I couldn’t catch them – or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing, beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out. – Malin Akerman
They say that your second trimester is when you get most of your energy and it’s the ‘easiest’ part of the pregnancy. – Malin Akerman
I don’t really have an issue with showing certain parts of my body. I’d rather not, but it’s not a big deal. Growing up in Sweden, it’s natural over there. – Malin Akerman
I’ve always felt so different from how I look. I meet so many pretty girls who are like, ‘Here I am! Don’t you want me because I look good?’ That concept is so weird to me. I want to know, ‘What else do you have going on?’ – Malin Akerman
I get horrified when I have to do table reads with the whole cast, because there’s a lot of stuttering coming from me, so I have to do a lot of prep. – Malin Akerman
I’m a tooth person… I like quirky teeth. My husband has little teeth with spaces in between them. He hates them and I love them. I like people with buckteeth, and I like it when they crinkle a bit. It’s very charming. – Malin Akerman
I wouldn’t have made it past the first round of American Idol auditions. It was months before our first song was recorded. The guys were like, ‘Just seeng!’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know how to seeng! Can’t I just play the triangle?’ – Malin Akerman
Nutella. I dig my spoon in and eat it straight out of the jar. I can easily go through one a week. – Malin Akerman
I think Cate Blanchett is fabulous – she just shines in everything she does – and I’m a big Susan Sarandon fan. – Malin Akerman
I like when you watch a film and you feel like you’re a part of somebody’s life for an hour and a half. – Malin Akerman
Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs. Or if the guy doesn’t say anything when you walk out with a new top and the guy has no idea why you’re mad at him. So of course, women are complicated. – Malin Akerman
Every time I’m in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I’m in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It’s funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I’ll take it all. – Malin Akerman
I meet so many pretty girls who are like, ‘Here I am! Don’t you want me because I look good?’ That concept is so weird to me. I want to know, ‘What else do you have going on?’ – Malin Akerman
I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn’t really the popular girl in school and didn’t have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek. – Malin Akerman
Anytime you get to work with an actor who is beyond you in experience and talent, I feel like they make you a better actor. You really bring up your game. – Malin Akerman
