Michelle Williams said that talking about her ex Heath Ledger, who died last year, felt "unsafe." While dealing with grief, paparazzi attention, and day-to-day life, the actress said that she was extremely overwhelmed and had a great deal of trouble coping, "holding it together by a string and a paper clip in the fall and winter."

"I didn't know what my boundaries were for a long time, which made interviews feel very unsafe," Michelle told Vogue for their October issue. "I can talk about grief, because that's mine; about single parenting; about trying to balance work and kids. But what I don't have to talk about is what happened between Heath and me in our relationship."

Now, Michelle said, when she really misses Heath, she looks at their daughter, Mathilda, and tries to ignore paparazzi attention. Claiming that her Brokeback Mountain period was one of her best memories, she also said that "falling in love" didn't "save me from the pain."
