evangeline_lillyThe final season of ABC’sLOSTkicks off tonight — and starEvangeline Lillyis already looking forward to “dropping off the radar” when all is said and done.

The 30-year-old actress, who plays Kate on the hit show and also recently starred in the Oscar-nominatedHurt Locker, says that her first priority will be focusing on charity work in Rwanda. Speaking at the premiere party for the last series of the drama in Honolulu this weekend, she said: “Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it’s been an amazing experience. I’m not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.”

“I want to have some quiet space… and enjoy a little bit of normalcy again (before deciding what’s next).”
