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.

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.

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.

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 love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.

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 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 know I can never work in a comedy because I can't keep a goddamn straight face.
Evangeline Lilly
My family didn't have a lot of money, and I'm grateful for that. Money is the longest route to happiness.
