Michelle, 27, has a two-year-old daughter with Heath who she met and fell in love with while they were making "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005.

"Obviously so much has changed for me in the last few months that I don’t really have an idea of what my life is going to be," she said. "I thought I knew certain things and it turned out that I didn’t so I don’t really try and anticipate so much anymore. I’m not making any bets on the future."

She and Ledger had left Los Angeles to live in Brooklyn where they continued to be a paparazzi target. The cooled off once they split: "When you’re in a relationship with somebody who is also a public personality then it doubles the attention from the media. When you minus that equation it’s just less enticing. That’s been a real bonus. It’s the plus side of the break-up for me. It was so pervading, it got bad there for a while. Every time I walk out of the door I still worry. That’s what is so silly about it: even if the paparazzi aren’t there, you wonder if they are. I’m not good at that stuff. I need to get better at it. It really used to affect me."
Unfortunately, since Ledger's death, Michelle again has become a paparazzi target showing zero compassion for the grieving actress.

And finally, the reason she didn't attend the wedding of former "Dawson's Creek" co-star Katie Holmes to Tom Cruise: "Everybody wants to know that. No, I didn’t go because I was working on The Tourist. To be honest, we’re not really in touch."
