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.

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
I enjoy the idea that even though I'm resting, I'm accomplishing something by reading a book.

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 cried myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because men leered and disrespected me, because they assumed things about my mental capacity or my physical willingness based on the way I look.
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.

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
I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.
Evangeline Lilly
