The people on my mums side of the family are atheist intellectuals

The people on my mums side of the family are atheist intellectuals who are ueber-proper. My dads side of the family are missionaries who are more comfortable sitting around in sweatpants than they are in a five-star restaurant. But those two influences converged in my life. – Evangeline Lilly
