Evangeline Lilly: ‘Acting is Not my Priority’

Evangeline Lilly is planning to put her acting career on hold – in a bid to become a charity worker and writer.

The actress – who plays Kate Austen in the hit show Lost – says she’ll take a break from acting when the drama series wraps up in 2010.

She explains,  “I intend on pursuing a lot of other things in my life. I’d love to have more time to devote to hobbies…

“Before the show I had intended to be some sort of humanitarian worker. I’ll definitely have more time to pursue more of that. Writing is my first and foremost passion – I can’t stop writing. I write all the time. So I want to try to either publish something I’ve written or sell a script or work on that.

“The reality is when you open a door, there is no sense in closing it – so I would never say I’ll never act again. But it’s definitely not my priority.”
