I was a die-hard fan of these books [The Hobbit] before the films ever came out. And when I say die-hard, I wasn't the person who could speak Elvish, but I really loved them.

Evangeline Lilly
I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they're all so jaded. They don't care.
Evangeline Lilly
Nature inspires us. Not being able to reach out and touch it, or see it, makes me get really antsy.
Evangeline Lilly
I just really like ants, and I really like science. I was interested and curious about the quantum world and the physics behind how it all works.
Evangeline Lilly
There is a little bit of evil in all of us, and it's very easy to draw that out.
Evangeline Lilly
Truthfully, I love being in the jungle. I love it when the make-up artists come to set, they come equipped with dirt and sweat. I spend my days climbing trees and I can crawl out of bed and walk on set and that's exactly all I have to look like.
Evangeline Lilly
You can't have a movie with a group of people that are significant players in the story, that push forward the plot, without introducing at least one or two of them.
Evangeline Lilly
If your home is peaceful, then you're going to go out in your day peacefully.
Evangeline Lilly
I eventually want to come back to Canada, to disappear, have nobody know me, and just be a writer and do what I want to do.
Evangeline Lilly
Every night I bring home flowers and burn candles. And I have a real sense that home is what starts everything inside of you.
Evangeline Lilly
I'm a very stubborn woman and I'm from a very stubborn family of headstrong women. I have sisters, so the women rule the coop in my house.
Evangeline Lilly
I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.
