Michelle Williams dreams of quitting acting and taking up an ordinary job in a laundrette or a restaurant kitchen.

The Hollywood actress has enjoyed a successful career since was she catapulted into the spotlight as a teenager in TV series Dawson's Creek, but she often finds herself considering a more normal occupation.

She tells Hobo Magazine, "I often dream of quitting acting. Walking away and becoming a laundress or a sous chef or maybe writing other people's love letters for a living. Clearly, I don't like to be in charge. And thinking of quitting is just keeping going in disguise. When you have options, anything is bearable. It's when a situation is inescapable that it becomes hell."
