I love being outside - that's where I'm the happiest.

I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

I spent many nights crying myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered and disrespected me, because they assumed things about my mental capacity or my physical willingness based on the way I look.

I love it. I love it! I love acting, being paid to be creative. I've always been really passionate about the arts. But I also constantly yo-yo between wanting to do this for a long time, wanting to achieve a certain level of respect in this industry, and then at the other end of the scale wanting to run for the hills screaming "this is terrifying and I want out."

Even if you're unhappy, just pretend that you're happy. Eventually, your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that, I used to think, 'I'm being fake,' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable. - on her mindset.

Evangeline Lilly was discovered on the streets of Kelowna, British Columbia, by Ford modeling agency. Although she initially decided to pass on a modeling career, she went ahead and signed with Ford anyway, to help pay for her University of British Columbia tuition and expenses. Despite being signed to Ford Models, she was never actually a fashion model, working instead with their acting branch.

Founded and ran a world development and human rights committee at her university. She has lived under a grass hut in the jungles of the Philippines with a missionary group, and has been a volunteer for children's projects since the age of 14.

She attained her degree in International Relations at the University of British Columbia.

Her father worked as a Home Economics teacher and was the produce manager at Safeway. Her mother worked as a beauty consultant for Estée Lauder and ran a daycare center.

She was raised Baptist and Mennonite and she taught Sunday school for eight years.

She has worked as a flight attendant for Royal Airlines, a waitress, and completed oil changes on big rigs while doing commercials and modeling to earn money for University.

She is fluent in French.

Loves ice skating, canoeing, kayaking, snowboarding and rock climbing.

When Lilly was cast as Kate in Lost, her main concern was acquiring a work visa to enter the United States. With production literally days away and no news about the visa, casting directors were forced to grudgingly begin re-casting the role of Kate. After nearly 20 auditions, Lilly's work visa was approved and she arrived on set a day late.

Her Lost cast-mates nicknamed her "Monkey" because of her ability to climb trees with ease. Her fellow Lost-actor Josh Holloway also calls her 'Freckles', sharing the nickname his on-screen character Sawyer gave her. She is also known on set for her tomboyishness, Christian faith, and her "potty mouth".

Returned to work 3 months after giving birth to her son Kahekili to begin filming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012).

Salary

Lost $80,000 per episode (2004)
