Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams [1] are those best friends that everyone aspires to have. They have nothing but love and support for each other — they always take each other as dates to red carpet events [2] and are quick to defend and praise the other when the opportunity arises.
They met back when they both were on Dawson's Creek and fell into a seamless friendship immediately. They've been there for each other for the good, the bad [3], and the ugly ever since, and we love getting glimpses into their friendship whenever they gush about each other. Keep reading for some of their sweetest words about each other and their friendship.
Michelle on Busy
"I said to her recently, 'You have really saved me from every being lonely [5] because you are always right there.' We are so close and can tell each other everything. I don't know what I would be or who I would be without Busy."
Busy on Michelle
"Michelle is kind of an easy person to fall in love with [6], and anyone who knows her will tell you that, but we just really genuinely have a lot in common."
Michelle on Busy
"She's proof that the love of your life does not have to be a man! That's the love of my life right there [7]."
Busy on Michelle
"She gives the best advice [8] and makes me feel better about things, and I hope I do the same for her.
Busy on Their Friendship
"I think for her, and for me, too, to have each other by our sides [9] as we go through this process, and when she's been nominated, or on other red carpets that we've done together or events, it's just great to have somebody that can be your touchstone for reality."
Busy on Michelle
"My friendship with Michelle has stood the test of time [10], and we've been together through many different versions of our lives. I love her as deeply as I love almost anyone."
Michelle on Busy
"We became inseparable and I fell in love with her [11]."
Busy on Michelle
"Close girlfriends are obviously super important to me . . . I think it's important as women to support one another and be here for one another through all different phases of our lives. It's something I really try to do in my life, and I feel incredibly lucky that Michelle is one of my best friends [12], and I just love her."
Busy on Their Friendship
"I'm sad [Michelle and I] don't get to live in the same place but yesterday was a perfect day together and just what I needed for my soul and that's what best friends are for [13], right? To show up when you need them most and remind you of who you are and why you are and that no matter what, it's all OK because you will always have each other."
