Michelle Williams announces break from acting

, Prev Next Michelle Williams is set to take a break from acting, her first true 'time out' since the death of ex-partner Heath Ledger earlier this year.

She told The New York Times of her plans for some 'me' time.

"I'm going to take a year off. I think I stopped feeling creative a while ago, and I'm just realising it now.

"I used to have all the time in the world to daydream and even just to dream and let your unconscious do some of the work for you. Now I'm up at five in the morning and I don't remember what I dreamed about."

She'll find a whole lot more time to hang out with her toddler daughter Matilda Ledger - as well as take up some nanna hobbies:

"I want to humble myself in front of a task like embroidery. I like how really physical work can free your mind."

And it's no more dramas for this young actor - well, not in the forseeable future:

"When I work again, maybe it should be a comedy. I've always had a tendency for darker, more life-life material. I think I had this sense that important things are heavier things. I don't know if that's true any more."


Take five: Michelle will take a break to spend more time with daughter Matilda

Good for her, I think she needs this time off to enjoy life and spend time with her kid. I just wish that all the rest of us could do the same, I could never imagine me telling my family, I think I will take a whole year off and not go to work = ) Seriously that would never happen, cause unlike her I don’t have enough money to do that O.o I wish I did!! Life would be so much better LOL
Good for Michelle, she should tak esome time off to comcentrate on herself and matilda. It must be a hard time for them both after the untimely death of Heath Ledger.
i think michelle is a wonderful person. i used to watch dawsons creek too but it wasnt until recently, especially her role in brokeback that i took her seriously and had a true appreciation of her. after the death of heath it seems like, through the tragedy, that she has become stronger and now she can take the time out she needs to spend all the time in the world with that beautiful baby matilda. god bless them and i wish them nothing but happiness and love forever. matilda will always be half aussie too =) she looks just like her daddy. rip heath xxxx
Michelle Williams - you rocked on Dawsons Creek, and you still rock now. So take a break, I mean you've gone thru hell ... with the death of Heath... so sad R.I.P Heath ledger! But you've got a beautiful baby daughter, thats another piece leftover or Heath! You're doing a good thing. We'll miss you but i hope you come back!
Sounds like she is just doing some growing and maturing, like all of us. I wish her nothing but happiness. She's a sweetheart.
