Michelle Rodriguez is ready to quit acting.

The 'Fast and Furious' star is keen to pursue a career as a screenwriter because she isn't finding acting as enjoyable as she used to.

She said: "I'm looking to get rid of my front of camera time, and get behind it.

"I was busy having fun! I was having fun, being a knucklehead, and growing. I was going through adolescence. I had to, you know, wise up.

"I'd like to write, mostly. Write and produce."

Michelle is currently penning a script about the former dictatorship of Rafael L. Trujillo in the Dominican Republic.

She told Dark Horizons: "Right now, I'm fixing a project that I did in Dominican Republic called Tropic of Cancer. And it's about the life of this woman and her three sisters under the dictatorship of Trujillo.

"And she basically became a martyr for the cause, after she decided to revolt against the dictator. And she made contacts with the exile.

"Salma Hayek did a film about the subject. But I wanted to do it in Dominican Republic, with a little Dominican flavor to it."
