Michelle Williams: I’ll quit acting if paparazzi don't leave me alone

Actress hates media frenzy

Michelle Williams has a daughter Matilda, 3, with the late Heath Ledger

Michelle Williams is considering giving up films to avoid the intrusion into her personal life.

The actress was left devastated when her ex-fiancé Heath Ledger died from an overdose in January, just 5 months after they separated.

But she says that since then paparazzi have hounded her.

‘It burns a fire inside of me, the shit I’ve seen people do to get at me or my daughter,’ she says.

‘If it gets to the point where I can’t situate my life in a way that they stay away more, then I’ll set a match to it.

'I’ll be sad because I like to act. I have this thing I’m in love with, but now it has this baggage.’

Michelle, 27, says she recently pleaded with a female reporter to stop hounding her.

‘I said: “You’re better than this. Look at you. You’re young, you’re able bodied, you’re above this,”’ she tells OK!. ‘But you know what? She wouldn’t go away.’
