Michelle Williams who is gearing up to play Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn talks about knowing the right roles and wrong roles for her in the May 2011 issue of Interview magazine.  Check out this excerpt below:

VIDA: I really admire the roles you’ve chosen and the career path you’ve carved out for yourself. I’m wondering what makes you take a particular role and what makes you turn a role down?

WILLIAMS: How do I say this? It’s like a mechanism in my life that runs on its own. When other things in my life don’t, and are broken and aren’t going well, for some reason my decision-making mechanism has a little engine of its own, and it’s fine. So I don’t overthink it. I’ve come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about . . . those are always the wrong choices. I’ve definitely made a couple of those, and that’s how I know now that it’s not the best way for me to decide.
