Malin Akerman

“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.”

“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.”

“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 can't walk by chocolate without eating it.”

“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.”

“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 do not watch horror films. At all. I am not a horror film girl; I don't have the stomach for it. I've seen a few in my lifetime, like 'The Shining' or 'Carrie,' but I can't sleep for, like, a week after I see something like that.”

“You've got to allow yourself the things you enjoy or you'll just be miserable.”

“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 feel nowadays a lot of bands can be too overly produced. There's something about the leather pants and bare bodies and Axl Rose running back and forth on a stage and going crazy. I love all that.”

“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'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.”

“I was really shy growing up. I had braces, headgear, and no boobs - still don't. So, the boys weren't interested in me. The only way I could get attention was by being a goof and a dork, which meant a lot of physical comedy.”

“אני נוסעת כל שנה לשוודיה ואני יכולה לומר שקנדה מאוד דומה לה מבחינת מערכת הרווחה והחינוך.”

“עדיין יש לי אמון באנושות, שיש אפשרות שיש אנשים שצוברים כסף וכוח ועדיין חשובה להם גם טובת הכלל, ויש להם קהילה סביבם ששומרת אותם עם רגליים על הקרקע, מציאותיים.”

“זה חלק מטבע האדם לנהל מאבקי כוח. כסף זה הדבר הכי קשה, כי בין אם אתה אדם גדול או אדם לא כל כך נחמד, זה עושה לך משהו, זה עולה לך לראש. חשוב שיהיו סביבך אנשים שיאזנו את זה.”

“דיגמנתי כדי להרוויח כסף על מנת שאוכל לקנות לעצמי חינוך טוב. זו באמת הייתה המטרה, לא אהבתי את זה אפילו לרגע, וזה לא היה משהו שקרוב לבחירה בקריירה.”

“במקום שאני נולדתי בו עירום זה טבעי.”

“בכל פעם שאני בקנדה אני מרגישה יותר שוודית, ובכל פעם שאני בשוודיה אני מרגישה יותר קנדית. אני שייכת לשני המקומות ואני אוהבת את שניהם באותה מידה. זה מצחיק כי השוודים טוענים שאני מהווה את הגאווה השוודית שלהם והקנדים קוראים לי הילדה הקנדית שלהם.”

“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.”
