More quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I always wear something slightly masculine.
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
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
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 enjoy the idea that even though I'm resting, I'm accomplishing something by reading a book.
Evangeline Lilly
I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.
Evangeline Lilly
Even though I'm resting I'm accomplishing something by sewing that shirt that I've been meaning to sew for weeks. And it's relaxing. It's so very meditative and quiet and enjoyable. But at least I'm producing something. I'm being productive in some way. I have a very hard time being completely idle.

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
Outside of acting, the person that I admire the most is my mother.
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
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 started to do everything I could to succeed, but found that the more successful I became, the less people liked me.
Evangeline Lilly
I don't want everyone to think of me as just 'that kid who called Jesse Jackson a communist in middle school.' That's why I decided to become a famous actress.
Evangeline Lilly
I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream it's not my be-all, end-all.
Evangeline Lilly
I like to be around people who make me laugh. It's one of my favorite things on a set. I hate it when people take themselves serious in a film set.
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
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
For me there's a need for balance - fulfilling the sensitive side, letting my guard down, holding back the warrior in me. And I have to be vulnerable which is very hard for me to do.
Evangeline Lilly
One of the great pleasures of working in Middle Earth is you get to be another being.
