The lovely Michelle Williams is on the cover of ELLE Magazine January 2017 issue and she looks good. I remember seeing Michelle Williams for the first time on the TV series – Dawson’s Creek, I have followed her acting career since then and although she has gone quiet in the last few years, she is definitely a talented actress.
Here are a few excerpts from her interview with ELLE Magazine –
Being open but setting boundaries
“It’s not naturally my inclination to be a boundary draw-er,” she says, shutting her eyes and pinching the bridge of her nose. “I’m like, ‘Open up all the doors and the windows and let everybody in.’ That’s the aim of my work, too.” But this isn’t acting. “It’s been a really, really long time since I’ve been in an interview. But I have better boundaries now. I feel less susceptible to emotional wreck-diving to come up with explanations for everything.”
This quote explains why I have seen and heard little about her in the last few years. I can see what she means. Being open and having boundaries can be tricky but boundaries are needed for a normal sane life.
Tabloids and having an authentic life
“If you feel like people are watching you, it’s impossible to have an authentic experience of being alive,” Williams says. “There’s a performative aspect and a guardedness, and that’s just death. I don’t know how to live like that, and I don’t know how to give a life to my child like that.”
I can never understand how these celebs cope with the press all up in their business every time. It must be very hard for many.
I think this picture right here is so beautiful. The hair, makeup and pose is just perfect. I love me some Michelle Williams anytime.
What do you think of this issue and cover girl? Are you a fan? Do you struggle with being open but having boundaries?
It must be so difficult for them. I do feel for them having their whole lives followed daily. Love the cover. X
It is a lovely cover x
She looks great, love her hairstyle. I always wanted a hair cut like Michelle’s but it never looked this good on me!!
Yea she looks great.
That final image of her looks stunning. I never watched Dawson’s Creek so I had no idea who she was x
Yea she is a stunner x
OOh I am loving her hair like that, she looks almost unrecognisable x
Yea she looks fab x
I struggle being too open at times, and because I don’t have boundries, I get hurt… A LOT. It’s difficult when you’re naturally very open and honest. I need to set boundries and learn that not everyone gives a shit about me. I have to confess to not knowing who she was!
Yea setting up boundaries can be very hard at first.
I love that last image of her, she has such a powerful bone structure!
Yea I agree Harriet.
I used to live watching Dawson’s Creek! She’s come a ling way, hey?! Looks absolutely fab on the cover.
Yea she does..
I love the last image of her! Her physique doesn’t just spell beauty. You can see life experience in her eyes which adds to her beauty. Beauty is more than skin deep.
Boundaries: I have them now and can be discerning with them. Until I entered some serious therapy in the 000’s then no I wouldn’t have. Now yes. I have learnt them through the years through therapy and experience
Yea I have my boundaries up thanks to experience too..
She looks so different with short hair that I almost didn’t recognise her. It suits her though
Yea it does.
Her face doesn’t look like she has aged a day since Dawsons Creek!!! lol
Yea I agree..
Oh my goodness I can’t believe that’s Michelle Williams – she looks amazing!
Yea she does..
She is beautiful. I admire her for being able to cope with the pressures of fame because I don’t think I would be able to handle it.
Yea she is a beauty..
I absolutely adore Michelle Williams as an actress! She’s also my girl-crush 🙂
Ah nice..
She looks amazing here! I’d love to be able to wear my hair like hers x
Yea she does x
