I always wear something slightly masculine.
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.

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.

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.

Evangeline Lilly
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
My home is my castle, and I spend a lot of time nurturing it, redecorating - moving this and adjusting that, adding flowers and candles.
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
I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream it's not my be-all, end-all.
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
I actually write as a passion, as something I actually am more passionate about than acting.
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 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.
