More quotes by Evangeline Lilly
Money is the longest route to happiness.
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
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
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
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 decided I wanted to be a painter, and then that moved into wanting to be an animator. By adolescence, I just wanted it to be something that was important...something that would make a difference in people's lives or leave an imprint in history.

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
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.
Evangeline Lilly
I think that being isolated from the Hollywood world of premieres and red carpet events was probably good for me because I could ease into those at will and by my own choice. But in other aspects, when it comes to fanfare, Hawaii is nuts and in L.A. they're all so jaded. They don't care.
Evangeline Lilly
If your home is peaceful, then you're going to go out in your day peacefully.
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
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
My valentine is always my dad.
Evangeline Lilly
I didn't grow up in a home that glorified Hollywood. We didn't watch TV. We didn't have a lot of magazines around.
Evangeline Lilly
When I got old enough to date, I realized that Valentine's Day is just a commercial marketing scam to make men feel bad. So I let my boyfriends off the hook.
Evangeline Lilly
That is the greatest source of my anxiety on this film [The Hobbit], is that I'm going to be lynched.
Evangeline Lilly
I've had to find my sanity.
