More quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I'm very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don't even like the word feminism because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I'm not interested in trying to pretend to be a man. I don't want to embrace manhood, I want to embrace my womanhood.

I can still go grocery shopping and not get mobbed. But when I was in South Africa this summer, I had people asking for autographs, and that scared me.

I try my very hardest to remember that I don't have to be anything but Evangeline. That's all that's expected of me. And if I try to be more or less, I will fall flat on my face. So if I just continue to hold my head high and keep myself in check, I'm being who I was born to be.

I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.
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
I actually write as a passion, as something I actually am more passionate about than acting.

Nature inspires us. Not being able to reach out and touch it, or see it, makes me get really antsy.
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
There is a little bit of evil in all of us, and it's very easy to draw that out.

I love being outside - that's where I'm the happiest.

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 just wanted friends. I just wanted people to like me. I just wanted for things to be simple and good. So, for five years I actively sought out mediocrity.
