Evangeline Lilly: Sound Bytes

Okay, let's face it. It's rather slow in the world of Lost news. This won't stop me from finding the most obscure interviews and tidbits out there, though. I'm up for the challenge.

Evangeline Lilly's been sounding off on her lifestyle changes because of paparazzi (limiting off-set beach time!) and the responsibility she feels to represent a healthy body acceptance.

"For the last two years in Hawaii I won't be caught dead on the beach. I can't go because I'm tired of seeing myself in a bikini on the cover of a tabloid magazine and being that woman.

"I'm not that woman. If I was that woman then great I'd go down to the beach every day and would wear the cutest bikini anyone has ever seen. But in order to kind of represent myself in the public eye, I've stopped going to the beach."

She explains, "I know women with eating disorders or who are not happy with their bodies.

"It's so important for women to say to other women, 'I like myself how I am.' But it's hard because in your heart of hearts you are thinking, 'I don't really.' But you have to learn to say it.

"You have to make yourself say it when you're in the spotlight. Imagine what a world it would be if people felt good about themselves the whole time."
