Lilly's remarks are meant to be a compliment, as she says she most admires Angelina out of the Hollywood A-list set. "No one knows that woman; she's a complete ice queen, which is perfect," she explains. "Why should she be any more? She doesn't owe us anything."
The "Lost" star adds that she has rejected the idea of being a movie star like Angelina, saying producers of the show have commented on it, saying, "They’ve seen that I haven’t picked up on the opportunity to become a big movie star. I think they’re starting to be convinced that I’m not full of s***, and this is who I really am. My producer Bryan Burk is always like, ‘My God, the opportunities you have!’ It frustrates him that they’ve given me this chance to become the next Angelina Jolie [and I haven’t gone after it]. Sure, I’d love to be her, but just the [humanitarian] side.”
In fact, she rejects the idea of being only thought of as an actress. "The show was a rare opportunity but there were ulterior motives," she says. "I knew if I did this for five or six years, what it would result in. The good that I have been able to do has been worth the sacrifice. Ultimately, acting is not my passion. It’s my day job."
