Watch Live & Comment... The 2025 Golden Globe Awards!
Evangeline Lilly shows off all her assets in the January/February 2015 issue of Esquire.
Here’s what the 35-year-old The Hobbit star had to share with the mag:
On the idea behind her book “The Squickerwonkers”: “Back then, I lived in my head. My daydreams owned me. All of my friends were imaginary. The everyday world felt like such a distraction.”
On how she wants kids to react to her book: “I don’t want to shield kids from reality. I want to replicate their experience with characters they can hopefully relate to, ones that are flawed, lovable, troubled, courageous outcasts.”

On what she wants in life: “I’m a strange mix of someone who is quite reclusive and comfortable with very little but driven professionally. I don’t need to be famous, but I do have an enormous desire to influence people and connect with them. It gives me satisfaction to know that I’ve touched others.”
On doing meaningful work: “Sometimes I wonder if I’ve taken on too much, but I just want to live out as much potential as I can.”
On how she stays grounded: “We have constant distraction and choice, which can be very destabilizing and get in the way of experiencing life. So it’s important to engage in activities regularly that reunite you with yourself. For some people it’s prayer, reading, meditation, or a breathing practice. For others it’s a dinner party.”
