Malin Akerman

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 don't have a problem with being a woman. Women's bodies are so beautiful.

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.

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.

Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are really amazing, lovely people and really great comedic actors.

I love seeing when actors go from one genre to the next because I feel like most of them can pull it off.

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 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.

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 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.

Unfortunately, I like to feel a little stubble when I kiss. Women are too soft.

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'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.

How can you not love a man banging on the drums? He knows how to keep a rhythm.

People do think you're more intelligent if you have dark hair. But my husband definitely prefers me as a blonde.

I think Cate Blanchett is fabulous - she just shines in everything she does - and I'm a big Susan Sarandon fan.

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.

I don't mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I'm not self-conscious.

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?'
