If your home is peaceful, then you're going to go out in your day peacefully.

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.
Evangeline Lilly
I know I can never work in a comedy because I can't keep a goddamn straight face.
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.
Evangeline Lilly
I love being outside - that's where I'm the happiest.
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 started to do everything I could to succeed, but found that the more successful I became, the less people liked me.
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
My bedroom is my sanctuary. It's the only place in the house that has a beautiful lush shag rug, which is my favorite.

My family didn't have a lot of money, and I'm grateful for that. Money is the longest route to happiness.
