Motherhood and work is a balancing act that Michelle Williams says she’s not perfect at.
“I feel like I’m so good at raising a kid when I’m not working,” the 34-year-old actress told ELLE UK
in its April issue. “I don’t forget anything. I’ve got everything
covered. It’s a real luxury to have a moment when I’m not scrambling.”
Being a single mother to her 8-year-old Matilda, whose father, Heath
Ledger, passed away in 2008, often leaves the “Dawson’s Creek” alum
feeling like she has “to do two things at once, both to the best of my
abilities.”
“So that leaves me feeling pretty exhausted. I’m the person who falls asleep all the time,” the actress said.
“You invite me over for dinner or to a party, and there’s a whole
scrapbook of pictures of me napping. I’ve even been given a nickname
because of my snoring,” she said.
For someone as busy as Williams, laying in bed checking her social
media isn’t an option. Instead, she prefers to read a poem a day.
“I read poems on my phone when I wake up in the mornings,” the actress
tells ELLE UK. “It opens you up for the rest of the day, and suddenly
your life becomes a little more observed. And when it becomes more
observed, it can’t help but start to become more beautiful.”
The full interview with Williams will appear in the April issue of ELLE UK, which will be on sale March 5.
