Evangeline Lilly Acting Quotations

I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all.

Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.

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."

Outside of acting, the person that I admire the most is my mother.

I love the creative end of acting. But I hate fame.

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.

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.

I actually write as a passion, as something I actually am more passionate about than acting.
