Michelle Williams says being famous is "wearing"

The 28-year-old actress - who has a three-year-old daughter Matilda from her
relationship with late actor Heath Ledger - dislikes living in the spotlight
and hopes the interest in her will fade soon.
She said: "I do sometimes wish that I could live with less attention but not
being totally ignored by the world.
"It's very wearing to be a celebrity. I wonder if people are going to follow
me or if someone is going to pop out of nowhere with a camera. I get very
angry but I'm trying not to let it stop me from living.
"You're sort of straddling that fine line between being kind and courteous
and everything that your mother raised you to be to strangers that come up
and refuse to respect your privacy."
Despite finding the interest in her life stifling, Michelle is determined
not to give up acting and recently received a Best Female Lead nomination at
the 2009 Indie Spirit Awards for her role in 'Wendy and Lucy'.
The actress revealed she has become more confident about her acting
abilities as she has got older.
She added to Parade magazine: "I still have to put up a fight to get the
environment right on the set when I'm acting. And, as a woman, it's hard to
do. You're taught to be polite and quiet so that nobody will think you're
difficult. "When I worked with Philip Seymour Hoffman on 'Synecdoche', I saw
him get really militant about keeping people out of his eye line. I thought,
'Gosh, I've always felt like that, but I've been too shy to really say
anything.' And so when you see somebody else do it and still be respected,
it makes you go, 'Well, I'm going to try it too.' "
