More quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I actually write as a passion, as something I actually am more passionate about than acting.
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.
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
I am who I am and I am what I am. And it's beautiful. And it's okay even if it doesn't look like the sexiest Victoria Secret model. It also boils down to my interactions with people.
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 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.

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.
Evangeline Lilly
I love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.
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
In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.
Evangeline Lilly
Money is the longest route to happiness.
Evangeline Lilly
I know I can never work in a comedy because I can't keep a goddamn straight face.
Evangeline Lilly
I was fortunate enough to be one of those stories where I was scouted on the street by somebody and actually refused to go to the agency, and was approached on different occasions and finally kind of caved and said, 'OK, I'll try it and see what happens.
Evangeline Lilly
I tended to be a solitary young girl, and I still am. I would like to find a quiet corner and color in my coloring book. When I think back, I made that corner mine, not really caring about the rest of the house.
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
There's a massive part of me that can be bold and courageous...very strong and very assertive and independent, almost to a fault sometimes.
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!
