Washington (ANI): Hollywood actress Michelle Williams has revealed that she will be taking a year off from acting to grieve over ex- finance Heath Ledger's death and spend adequate time with their daughter, Matilda. The 28-year-old, who resumed acting shortly after a brief break following Ledger's death, admits that her time-consuming career has left her mentally exhausted.

"I'm going to take a year off. I think I stopped feeling creative a while ago, and I'm just realising it now." Contactmusic quoted Williams, as telling New York Times. "I used to have all the time in the world to daydream and even just to dream and let your unconscious do some of the work for you. Now I'm up at five in the morning and I don't remember what I dreamed about," she added.

The Mammoth actress, who wants to work in light-hearted comedy flicks after her time off, intends to use her time productively and devote appropriate time to her 3-year-old daughter "When I work again, maybe it should be a comedy. I've always had a tendency for darker, more life-life material. I think I had this sense that important things are heavier things. I don't know if that's true any more," she said.

That's like saying if Heaths car broke down driving across Australia to start his dreams he'd still be alive. It's just as likely to say he may have died earlier and we would never have been lucky enough to be in awe of his gift as an actor or a human being. Granted , I prefer he lived on to a ripe old age but am glad we got to know of such a sensitive, talented actor and friend to many.

Her oscar nomination was manufactured to market Brokeback Mountain (she didn't win by the way), yes she's been in numerous films that no one has seen and Dawson's Creek was a joke. Everybody knows that it was her relationship with Heath that propelled her to where she is. And maybe if YOU crawled out from under YOUR rock you'd know that her last film Deception flopped at the box office and Wendy&Lucy can't even get a distributor. Be her fan if you want, but there are many of us who believe that Heath would have been better off if he had never gotten involved with her.

Are you kidding me??? Maybe if you crawled out from under your rock once in a while you'd know that Michelle Williams is an oscar-nominated actress that has done numerous films, before she even met Heath Ledger, during her career and is well-known for her role as Jennifer Lindley in the TV series Dawson's Creek. Don't listen to this idiot, Michelle. I have your back and will always be a fan! You ROCK !!

Good, let her take a year off. Take two or three. Nobody cares about her anyway. Who was she before she ensnared Heath Ledger into her web? Nobody. The photographers only take her picture because of Matilda. She's only known for being Heath's baby mama. Period.
