I don’t know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.-Michelle Williams
I don’t believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles – concentric circles that connect.
-Michelle Williams
I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.
-Michelle Williams
I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It’s good time management.
-Michelle Williams
Every movie I make I find kind of excruciating. I get a lot back from it, but I feel like I’m kind of always working at the edge of my ability. I guess that’s what I’m looking for when I go to work. I am trying to become the edge.
-Michelle Williams
Everything’s connected, and everything has meaning if you look for it.
-Michelle Williams
Relationships have always seemed very mysterious, and therefore worth exploring. I’m single, so it’s still kind of a mystery – a worthwhile mystery, one that I want to be on the scent of. I’m not lonely, and I think that has a lot to do with what’s on my bedside table rather than what’s in my bed.
-Michelle Williams
I love things that are old and beautiful and tell a story, even if it’s a sad one.
-Michelle Williams
I’ve come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about those are always the wrong choices.

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?
-Michelle Williams
I was born with a fierce need for independence.

I feel like something has changed for me, but it’s a new change, so it’s going to be hard for me to describe. Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don’t feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don’t feel scared to have an idea and express it. I feel giddy about it because it’s a complete transformation. It’s like I’ve found my voice.
-Michelle Williams
The idea that you can get everything you want in one person is destructive, and maybe when you accept that the number is closer to 50 or 60 or 70 percent, that’s when you can start to make some progress in choosing the right person.
-Michelle Williams
For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.
-Michelle Williams
I don’t want to do anything to embarrass my family or my church because the town that I come from is so small. There are certain things that I just can’t be part of because of my foundation.
-Michelle Williams
An interview is like a minefield.
-Michelle Williams
From Blue Valentine I kept my wedding ring. I actually kept it on for a while. After the shooting had stopped, I was still wearing it – I couldn’t quite take it off – and now I keep it above the kitchen sink where I do dishes, as a little memento.
-Michelle Williams
I find that each job that I do, the thing that gets me there is when I’m not smarter than it, when I don’t know instantly how that thing is made. Because if I do, then it’s boring. Or it would be simple.
-Michelle Williams
There was a sense of being taken on a journey by the grandmaster of the road trip. You feel this weird angel taking you somewhere. You don’t know where, but you trust him.
