Michelle Williams has revealed that she has adjusted to being a single mother.

The Dawson's Creek actress, who has 5-year-old daughter Matilda with her former partner Heath Ledger, said that she couldn't "imagine" not being a mum.

She told USA Today: "Five years down the road, it's my new normal. Now I can't imagine, I don't even really remember or would want my life previous.

"You make it work. You keep getting out of bed. Sometimes it's just because you know there's a cup of coffee downstairs."

The 30-year-old also explained that she was glad for the support she received after her relationship ended with Ledger in 2007, months before he died.

She added: "I loved so much becoming a mum and what had been, to me, this invisible community before that sort of rises up and says, 'We're here to help you. I was so moved by this new kind of community of people. And then when I became a single mother, there was a smaller but equally powerful community that rose up."
