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.

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.

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!

My home is my castle, and I spend a lot of time nurturing it, redecorating - moving this and adjusting that, adding flowers and candles.

I'm a good Canadian girl. I miss all that good stuff. I miss tobogganing and I miss snowboarding, but I've also learned to surf and I've become a water baby which I used to be relatively terrified of the water and I kayak all the time now and I'm able to run year round on the beach which you can't obviously do in Canada.

I think men don't know what they want, so the idea of not knowing what they're getting makes it a little easier on them.
Evangeline Lilly
I actually write as a passion, as something I actually am more passionate about than acting.
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.

Originally, I wanted to do humanitarian work. I actually feel that getting into acting, which fate has led me to, is my window and path into humanitarian work. I always said I want to do something important. And I feel this work is what's helping me get there.
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
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
When I was young I was soft spoken and a little bit timid and passive. My dream then was to be a ballerina or a figure skater - something very delicate.
Evangeline Lilly
I like fantasy. I like worlds where sometimes you need the special effects to make it come alive, but it's not so fun acting it.
Evangeline Lilly
I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream it's not my be-all, end-all.

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
My heart is in helping people and in the less materialistic side of things, but there's the side of me that's more polished.
Evangeline Lilly
In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.
Evangeline Lilly
My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's the only place in the house that has a beautiful lush shag rug, which is my favorite.
