"[Heath] had a talent for everything that he put his mind to," Michelle Williams tells Interview magazine in a new interview where she talks about the untimely death of her former fiancee and father of her child.

"I think the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. You can pick it up on it in his performances, but it's easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine," Williams says. "But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That's who he was. He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn't know limits."

Michelle also talks about Ledger's insomnia disorder.

"For as long as I'd known him, he had bouts with insomnia," she says. "He had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning turning — always turning."

Naomi Watts, another of Ledger's former lovers, says, "I think he wanted to be someone who was doing the observing — not the one being observed. He hated not being able to go about his life in an ordinary way. But I think that, deep down, he enjoyed that he was being recognized for his talent. I think he was starting to own that and that's the deepest tragedy, in terms of his work. He was just beginning to own it and embrace it."
