Michelle Williams Reveals Why She Doesn't Use Social Media

Michelle Williams looks stunning on the cover of the March issue of Elle UK, available February 7th.

Here’s what the 38-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On social media: “I haven’t figured out how to use [social media] as a source for my own good. I haven’t figured out how to use it to find something inspiring or beautiful…I’m just not a techy person. It’s a little ridiculous to be so unknowledgeable about the thing that has sort of taken over the world. I guess I don’t relate to it, which probably makes me irrelevant.”

On her 20s: “My 20s felt like, ‘Who am I? What am I going to make of all of this time on the planet? What do I want? What is happiness? Who are my friends? What’s wrong with me? How do I fix it? Who am I?’”

On acting: “The idea of becoming someone else through an internal and external process hooked me at an early age. What does it feel like to put on a costume of somebody else? How do these clothes change me, how does this wig change me, how does this walk change me? As I’ve gotten older, that’s been the work I’ve been most interested in – the transformation, instead of repletion or endless self-replication.”
