That's what happens in Hollywood. People are like, 'I want to hate you, because everyone else seems to love you.' But the reality is this: I'm a simple person who's not interested in attention and who just wants to go about her business.

The way I've been able to embrace fame is by realizing that celebrity is just a means to send whatever message you want out into the world.

That is the greatest source of my anxiety on this film [The Hobbit], is that I'm going to be lynched.

I have these huge, pointed ears. They're like three times the size of Orlando Bloom's ears. And I think he has ear envy, I love my ears.

I think I'm not always what I seem.

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

I try my very hardest to remember that I don't have to be anything but Evangeline. That's all that's expected of me. And if I try to be more or less, I will fall flat on my face. So if I just continue to hold my head high and keep myself in check, I'm being who I was born to be.
