Michelle Williams: My Subconscious Was Interested in Serious Roles

Michelle Williams steps out on a beautiful day in New York City on Tuesday (May 31).

The 30-year-old Meek’s Cutoff actress recently chatted with the Arizona Republic about her string of serious roles.

“It wasn’t anything premeditated at all,” Michelle said of choosing the roles. “I guess it was just what my subconscious was interested in exploring for the last couple of years.

“I’ve heard enough now in the past few months from people I respect, from friends and strangers on the street, saying like, could you do something not as harrowing? And actually, I think there’s something to that – I’m interested myself in what else would excite me,” Michelle added.
