Interview :

UltimateTV: What was it like to work on Species?

Michelle Williams: I don't think that I had any idea of the magnitude of this movie; I was a thirteen year old going to work and they put stuff on my face....but then it got this cult following...it was just a job for me...people would send me letters and ask me to come to their alien conventions...they took it as reality.

UltimateTV : What did you learn from working with Jessica Lange in "A Thousand Acres"?

Michelle Williams: Grace. Things that I don't think I really realize now. Just immeasurable...but above all, grace.

UltimateTV: Which of the three actresses in "A Thousand Acres" did you learn the most from? Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, or Jessica Lange?

Michelle Williams: It wasn't really the most or the best, it was different things from the three of them, with Jessica it was about grace, Michelle is ethereal, Jennifer is so complex. I learned a lot; what I learned cannot be expressed in words.

UltimateTV: Who are your acting influences?

Michelle Williams: Any old film noir.

UltimateTV: Do you plan on attending college?

Michelle Williams: Not at this pace. I'd really like to devote my focus to one place or another.

UltimateTV: Which is your favorite Dostoyevsky book?

Michelle Williams: Notes from the Underground.

UltimateTV: Would you be interested in doing feature films?

Michelle Williams: What actor wouldn't?

UltimateTV: What's your favorite action movie?

Michelle Williams: "La Femme Nikita."

UltimateTV: Do you find that being a working actor affects your relationships with your friends? After all, you're only 15 years old.

Michelle Williams: Michelle: What friends. I'm not saying 'pity me' but I'm kind of isolated because I don't go to high school. It's a fun conversation piece for ten minutes, then people get bored.

UltimateTV: What can you remember about Kalispell, Montana, and where exactly is that?

Michelle Williams: I just flew in from there yesterday. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I went back. You can see sky for miles and miles. It's a different way of life. It's escapism. From Hollywood.
