Evangeline Lilly chats about her last day on the set of The Hobbit - TheOneRing.net
"...I’ve just spent the rest of the week absolutely annihilating myself. I’ve never been so physically exhausted in all of my career. I spent, what was it, Tuesday, I think it was. I was doing stunts all morning. And then I was doing massively heavy emotions and stunts combined, all afternoon.
And by about, I would guess it was probably around eight P.M., I’d been here since about five-thirty, I actually started thinking to myself, “I think I’m going to throw up. And if I do it on camera, I’ll be really embarrassed.” Because you just can’t stop working, it’s not an option for an actor. You have to keep going. The show must go on. But I thankfully did not vomit in front of camera and in front of the world, because I’m sure Peter would’ve used it on a blog post if I had!"

"...I’m in deep, deep water right now because I’ve done something completely different and people are going to probably hate me for it. But it’s true to Tolkien’s creation. The Silvan Elves were a very different breed of Elves than the High Elves, and in Tolkien’s own words, “They were less wise and more dangerous.” And that is what I’ve been playing.
Sometimes I watch myself, because I’ve seen most of the second film now doing ADR and that sort of thing. And I think, “Have I over– Have I gone too far with being aggressive and a little ball of fury?” But hopefully not. Hopefully, people love it. And hopefully people just really enjoy watching a female Elf kick butt. I think online the technical term is that Tauriel is a “B-A-M-F.” I think that’s the technical term."

She kind of, in my mind, becomes the voice of the audience. She speaks out what the audience is thinking and feeling, and that is such a satisfying thing, I know as an audience member when I’m watching a movie, I grab hold of that character because I need to hear it. I need them to say what is going on in my head. And Tauriel does that through the whole film.
***
"...I think Tauriel is very passionate about justice, and in that passion for justice is where she finds the opening to fall in love with a Dwarf. If she didn’t care so much about justice, she would’ve never put herself in a position to even get to know him in the first place. And so I think she’s incredibly lovable in that way and I’d fall in love with her! And I used to be very nervous about the fact that I wasn’t in the book and now people are going to hate me, because I’m going to ruin these movies.
And I feel a lot more confident about it now, knowing that I’ve fallen in love with her and that’s really all that matters at the end of the day, as long as I can hold my head up and say, “I think she’s great!”

"I think that it’s an access point. Because The Hobbit, I loved it as a child. It was my favorite book. And then I hadn’t read it since I was a kid. So I went back and re-read it when I got this job. And what I was surprised to realize was how basic the book is. There isn’t any emotion in it. There isn’t any characters that you become so– Other than the hobbit, other than Bilbo who you go on this journey with him. But there isn’t really a deep emotional center to the book. It’s a very nice romp. It’s a sweet little story.
And to watch nine hours of film without some kind of emotional draw and payoff, nobody would sit through it. And I think in the third film particularly, like you said, the moments where Tauriel is struggling for her life, to save Kili’s life, or he’s struggling to save hers, with that emotional tears going on, which is very deep, and now I’ve acted it so I know just how emotional it gets, I think it’s an opening for the audience to feel what they are going to want to feel at the devastation that will happen at the Battle of the Five Armies. Because you need the individual stories for the audience to access the emotion.
If they just see general chaos and general death and general loss, they don’t find a way to cry. And every audience member wants to cry. They want someone on that screen to make them cry. So I’m trying to make them cry."

"...I think that Tolkien was writing in a time when women were considered secondary citizens in society and they were not considered pivotal parts of life events. They were just people who witnessed life whereas men were actually driving life. And I think for anyone to make a story in this day and age, when we’ve come so far with realizing women’s place in the world and acknowledging them as equal citizens in the world, and then to continue with that chauvinistic mindset of keeping women out of your story completely, I think it would be a wrong move.
I think it’s important to know that he was writing at a time when that was okay. And now that’s not okay. And everybody knows that’s not okay. And nobody faults Tolkien for it. He was a result of his time. But we have evolved past that and we have to represent that. I have to say though, on that note, because people often say to me when I’m playing these women who are very violent, “Oh, cool, you’re playing an empowered woman.” And I don’t buy that. I think the industry is still so driven by male mindset that they think an empowered woman is a woman acting like a man.
And I can say, “**** you.” An empowered woman is a woman who has compassion, who stands up for justice, who sacrifices herself in the face of struggle, who has he own sense– We have our own place in the world. And I don’t believe our place is turning around and shooting someone in the face because they pissed you off. That is the immaturity of unevolved men. And I think we’re bigger than that.
And I think that eventually, one day, our stories, women’s stories will start to reflect that properly. But for now, it’s a baby step in the right direction. At least she’s not at home cooking the pies, and I’m happy to play her."
