Evangeline Lilly
Originally, I wanted to do humanitarian work. I actually feel that getting into acting, which fate has led me to, is my window and path into humanitarian work. I always said I want to do something important. And I feel this work is what's helping me get there.

Evangeline Lilly
People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.
Evangeline Lilly
As a filmmaker, you have to understand the essence of the book and tell the story you want to see on the screen, and hopefully please yourself - because you cant possibly please everyone.

Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.
Evangeline Lilly
In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.

Nature inspires us. Not being able to reach out and touch it, or see it, makes me get really antsy.
Evangeline Lilly
The way I've been able to embrace fame is by realizing that celebrity is just a means to send whatever message you want out into the world.
Evangeline Lilly
