I thought I might start and just post quotes on how other actors and actresses think of Michelle.

Katie Holmes

"Michelle is a mysterious sweetheart. She's wonderful, I love her."

Josh Jackson ---->

"She's beautiful and deviously funny."

"Michelle is a much stronger woman this year. In Kevin Williamson's words she's going out there, kicking ass and taking numbers. She's on fire."

"Michelle is great. She's a ballsy girl. Unfortunately, she's our most underused asset on the show. She's a really strong young actress and she's a girl who'll never be a bubble gum actress. That's not an easy decision - to play a lesbian - at 20 years old. You have to respect her for having the moxie to make those choices."

"The finale made me cry. I almost made it through but Michelle [Williams] dying got to me, dammit."

"Once you've seen my butt there are really no secrets between us."

"Michelle's the type of girl you can talk to about anything."

Katie Holmes ---->

"She's a very worldly girl. I'm very impressed by her."

"I just saw Me Without You and thought Michelle was amazing in it."

JVDB ---->

"Michelle is a real sweetheart. She's very cool."

"Michelle says she's eighteen but I don't believe her for a second. I think she's like 50 and just got the most amazing facelift ever."

Me Without You Director Sandra Goldbacher on Michelle:

"She's always in my head now...She's so well-read and self-possessed"

"There's a stillness about her, a deep, striking stillness that gives her acting this European quality. She's drawing you in with simply her face. I know she's from television, but what's amazing about Michelle is that she has this cinematic quality that is absolutely fascinating."

"She was Holly. Michelle just felt so right. She is a very, very clever woman and articulate and very serious, and she completely understood the whole idea of this twisted female friendship. She has a kind of intensity about her."

Paul Stupin on Michelle:

"It seems no matter what we throw at her, she is able to make it real and believable and vulnerable, I think there is really no limit to her versatility."

The United States of Leland Director Matthew Hoge on Michelle:

"Michelle is very, very smart and honest. She immerses herself in a scene and lives truthfully in it, and that's a hard commodity to find with younger actors. I was really happy to be able to work with her -- she's charming and humble and has a great work ethic."

Anna Friel, Me Without You

"You can't not like Michelle! She's an incredibly sweet, lovely, lovely girl. And very professional. You know, it was a quite difficult shoot, 13 hours a day, six days a week, requiring quite a lot of concentration and professionalism on our behalfs. That was nice, that she's a really lovely girl, and a good hard worker."

Josh Hartnett

"She's such a talented actress. I had to strain
to keep my jaw off the floor!".

Busy Philipps

"Michelle is my best friend on the set. She's not just a work friend; we're going to continue our friendship after "Dawson's Creek" ends. I think Michelle is going to have a great career for the rest of her life."

Jamie Lee Curtis

""She's a very deep well of a human being. There's a lot that's not on the surface."

Rob Nagle aka Tom Frost (Jen's psychiatrist in season four)

"What's it like to work with Michelle Williams? Very easy. Michelle is an absolute doll. She is a very talented actress, as you know, and a very charming person. Most of us actors are shy at the core, and we cover that in different ways. Michelle is sexy, funny, sometimes wacky, beautiful, vulnerable when she needs to be, and an extremely natural performer. By that I mean you can't see her working, which I believe is the mark of someone with a genuine gift. She and I had a lot of fun acting opposite each other in some challenging scenes and were quite proud of what was captured on film. I've got nothing but good things to say about that woman."

Greg Prange - Executive Producer, Dawson's Creek

talking about the final episode: "Michelle never worked harder than she did in the last episode. She did some of her best quality work, and that's saying something."

"She's my old soul. She's so smart and so quiet, so wise beyond her years."

Paul Stupin

"Michelle brought a sense of depth and enrichment to her character, a character haunted with demons of the past."

Fred Champion, owner of CD Alley Music - music shop in Wilmington where Michelle shopped regularly.

"She's the kind of person who when she discovers a band, she buys CDs over and over again and gives them to her friends. She's really very smart and aware and sensitive to how she treats people."

JVDB

"In a lot of ways, her part was one of the most thankless on the show, with what the writers put her character through."

Meredith Monroe

"Michelle's funny. She's got a funny sense of humor. She's very quick. She'll throw out these remarks and it's like "Oh My God! Where did you come up with that?" She's fun."

Kevin Williamson

"She took our breath away. She walked into the room and she literally took us to a place that a lot of actreses can't. She took us to a core. She cut straight to the heart and to the pain of Jennifer and there was noone else to see. She had the part."

Andrew Fleming, Dick Director

"It's a quick scene but Michelle injected this real sense of betrayal and hurt into it. She always added another emotional dimension to things."

Jamie Lee Curtis

"I haven't made a friend like Michelle in a long time."

Kerr Smith

"We have a lot of fun together."

"I actually got to kiss Michelle Williams today (filming of A Winter's Tale). I was very excited about that."

Sandra Goldbacher

"She's got an interesting career ahead of her. What she does is effortlessly cinematic, which is fantastic for someone originally from a TV background."

James Van Der Beek

"She was 16 going on 30. Intellectually she was always far beyond her years; the trick for her was to try to catch up emotionally."

The United States of Leland helmer Matthew Hoge

"(Michelle's) very, very smart and honest. She immerses herself in a scene and lives truthfully in it, and that's a hard commodity to find with younger actors. I was really happy to be able to work with her -- she's charming and humble and has a great work ethic."

Tom McCarthy - The Station Agent Director


I kept saying I want a Michelle Williams type for this role, someone young and sexy and hip, and the next thing I knew we had Michelle Williams. She came in very enthusiastic about the script and just nailed her performance. Being from this area, I know Jersey girls very well and, even though shes from Montana, she hit it perfectly. She made the role so fresh and really wonderful.

Josh Jackson: "She is the most intellegent person I think I've ever known."

Christina Ricci: "I have one friend [Michelle Williams] who is a little dramatic, so she and I share our drama."

"[During the fliming of Prozac Nation] I was living with my friend Michelle Williams. It was the first time I'd been single as an adult, living with some other girl and just being totally wild. It was really fun. We went out 'til all hours of the night. It's insane. And R.E.M. was up there recording an album, so we hung out with them. Michelle and I became groupies. It was just crazy."

Heath Ledger

"My relationship with Michelle was something that slowly fell into place. Falling in love with her had nothing to do with the environment or the subject matter of [Brokeback Mountain]. We were just like two peas in a pod. And fatherhood? It is wonderful to feel the profound changes it will make in my life and my beliefs. There are no plans for marriage, yet. But I could not be more excited or happier."

"Michelle and I are like two peas in a pod. When it's true love, it feels like something you're rekindling. As if you've met the person before. Everyday I just fall deeper, and deeper and deeper in love with my two girls."

"There are no plans for marriage, yet. But I could not be more excited or happier. I really don't feel like I need a piece of paper to validate the love I have for her. She's my soulmate and we couldn't love each other any more."

"[Michelle and I] just fell very deeply into one another's arms."

"I really don't feel like I need a piece of paper to validate the love I have for [Michelle]. She's my soulmate and we couldn't love each other any more."

novaleigh

Those quotes from Heath are so beautiful.
Cris, thanks for bringing over what JVDB said about Michelle, that is so sweet. I wonder how often they keep in contact with each other.

I'm wondering as well, but that's so nice of JVDB to say that about Michelle

novaleigh

You can just tell what a great person Michelle is by all those nice things everyone who knows her has said about her.
