Malin Akerman's quotes

  • [on Tom Cruise] There's an aura around him. He's professional, positive, upbeat, always smiling, always encouraging. I mean. it's crazy how huge a star he is, yet he's actually a real person, so down to earth. He engages everyone, cast and crew.
  • 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.
  • I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows.
  • People are all vulnerable in so many different ways. We go into survival mode a lot of times.
  • Don't hate me, but I've always been skinny. I got lucky.
  • I can't walk by chocolate without eating it.
  • 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.
  • I am extremely lucky that I have a husband who is so supportive. He's not in the slightest bit jealous or worried about the things I do in certain scenes.
  • I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.
  • 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.
  • I'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.
  • How can you not love a man banging on the drums? He knows how to keep a rhythm.
  • As a girl I wanted the Cyndi Lauper hairstyle, with the shaved side of the head, or the Sharon Stone perm from 'Total Recall.'
  • A lot of big studio films, which are fun and great, tend to have a formula, and you've seen it before, and it's a new version of it.
  • We all in real life put on these masks - we don't swear when we're around certain people... When we come home, when you're on your own I'm sure you're really different than when you're with your boss.
  • I love a good Slash guitar riff. It's sexy!
  • I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it's the thing that makes me laugh the most.
  • I don't mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I'm not self-conscious.
  • I don't have a problem with being a woman. Women's bodies are so beautiful.
  • I always love the quirky stuff, which is why I love 'Childrens Hospital.' That really pushes the envelope of comedy.
  • I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.
  • I think Cate Blanchett is fabulous - she just shines in everything she does - and I'm a big Susan Sarandon fan.
  • I still get excited by working with big names. You have that initial moment of, 'Oh my goodness, I'm going to work with Tom Cruise!'
  • I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I'm the worst. I like physical comedy; it's where I feel comfortable.
  • I love seeing when actors go from one genre to the next because I feel like most of them can pull it off.
  • Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
  • Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are really amazing, lovely people and really great comedic actors.
  • I'm gluten intolerant, so that automatically cuts carbs from my diet.
  • I'd love to do all types of film, not just comedy, although I love comedy.
  • I think we can leave mullets back in the '80s. I'm really not a big fan of them.
  • There isn't a woman alive who doesn't have problems with her body. Including me!
  • People do think you're more intelligent if you have dark hair. But my husband definitely prefers me as a blonde.
  • Nutella. I dig my spoon in and eat it straight out of the jar. I can easily go through one a week.
  • My only requirement for life is that I don't get stuck in a rut.
  • Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs.
  • When you live in L.A., it is easy to stay fit, as the weather is amazing.
  • When I get dolled up to go out, men turn their heads and I'm used to it. But I think all women are sexy and should embrace that side of themselves.
  • Unfortunately, I like to feel a little stubble when I kiss. Women are too soft.
  • Those are my favorite kind of parts to do, just being a goofball and seeing how far you can go with something until you're just way out of line.
  • They say that your second trimester is when you get most of your energy and it's the 'easiest' part of the pregnancy.
  • I loved 'Pan's Labyrinth.' It transported me into another world. I like fantasy worlds; I love 'Lord of the Rings' as well, for that reason, because you really get to get out of reality and go somewhere else.
  • 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.
  • You've got to allow yourself the things you enjoy or you'll just be miserable.
  • Who doesn't love a funny girl who can look sexy at the same time?
  • 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.
  • I think recharging is important, absolutely. Every now and then, you need maybe a couple of weeks to just chill out and let your emotions balance themselves out a little bit.
  • I would love to interview Dave Grohl. I just think he's an amazing musician, and I grew up listening to Nirvana, so I have so many questions about that.
  • I'm such a bad shopper for myself. I love fashion and all that kind of stuff, but that's sort of the last thing I want to do when I'm done with a film is go shopping. I want to just chill.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • I do love doing films; I love going out and creating different characters for each film, and not having to be stuck with one role for many, many years. It's a creative liberty that I love.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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?'
  • I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it's just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type.
  • 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.
  • 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?'
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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?'
