She's gearing up for the release of "Fast & Furious 6" and during promotions Michelle Rodriguez rocked the cover of Cosmopolitan Latinas' Summer 2013 issue.

While teaming up with lensman Marc Baptiste for some sultry shots, the 34-year-old star revealed her plans to take an extended hiatus from her acting career.

On pursuing other careers in Hollywood:
"The truth is I'm about to say goodbye to acting for a minute and move behind the camera. I got into this business to write. I've waited 13 years to actually do it. You know how painful that is? It's very painful. But like now I'm ready, so that means I have to do the cutoff. I'll go into the mountains, and bye-bye everybody. Well, I'm a Cancer so... it's in my nature to hide. "

On overcoming her past troubles:
"I've had some bad moments. I partied hard. The world knew it. I feel like my growth is a progression. It's like you're about to fly out and head to Ibiza another year in a row and your gut's telling you, 'No, stay home and write.' I go forward, and I've had times when I go back. Just last year I had a time where I had a bad stretch. I rebel against everything, including myself. I'm like, 'Oh no, lemme do something f***** up now.' But then I'm like, 'Okay, what am I doing to myself?'"

On Latino reactions to her films:
"'Fast & Furious' definitely comes up first for Latin folks I meet at the airport. They can relate because there are a lot of blue-collar individuals that feel like outsides just by being in this country. It makes you think that living on the other side of the tracks is just a better option."
