More quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I've had to find my sanity.
Evangeline Lilly
I love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.
Evangeline Lilly
A month and a half after my first audition, I won the role on Lost.
Evangeline Lilly
My heart is in helping people and in the less materialistic side of things, but there's the side of me that's more polished.
Evangeline Lilly
I decided I wanted to be a painter, and then that moved into wanting to be an animator. By adolescence, I just wanted it to be something that was important...something that would make a difference in people's lives or leave an imprint in history.
Evangeline Lilly
My family didn't have a lot of money, and I'm grateful for that. Money is the longest route to happiness.
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
I don't know why, but the warmth and the comfort of flickering light help. And a fire, in the fireplace or on the beach, is very comforting. I think when you make something consistent and familiar, it helps. I light candles every single night in my home.
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 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 would love to pretend I don't diet, but I work very hard. I stay active and eat very healthy. Anybody who says otherwise is either unhealthy or lying! I will admit that I'm addicted to sugar - licorice, Jujubees and jelly candies. And I actually love bran muffins!
Evangeline Lilly
The people on my mum's side of the family are atheist intellectuals who are ueber-proper. My dad's side of the family are missionaries who are more comfortable sitting around in sweatpants than they are in a five-star restaurant. But those two influences converged in my life.
Evangeline Lilly
When I got the job on 'Lost,' I was a broke university student living in the crappiest part of town, with a duct-taped back window on a broken-down car. I existed on peanut butter and tea.
Evangeline Lilly
The difference in my body from pre-pregnancy to post-baby was night and day. I didn't have the strength, I didn't have the flexibility, I didn't have the stamina, I didn't have the mobility. I felt like I was handicapped.
Evangeline Lilly
Ironically, when I hit adolescence, I was approached about modeling and acting all the time. And, for five years, I said, No, I'm not interested. I want a simple life, I don't want to be in the spotlight.
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.
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
To put it simply - you know, a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don't buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing, or an exciting thing, or a wonderful thing.
Evangeline Lilly
In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.
Evangeline Lilly
I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.
