Rodriguez wants to write screenplay

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Michelle Rodriguez, one of the stars of "The Fast and the Furious", also would like to work behind the cameras. "I really don't feel that for the rest of my life...I'm going to be satisfied just being an actress," Rodriguez told reporters. She made her film debut in last year's "Girlfight."

"I have to be part of both worlds because I want to see how these people handle it. How do you handle the studio breathing down your back? How do you handle selling your movie?" She'd also like to write a screenplay. "I'm bursting with ideas. It's just all about channeling them and being able to really put them in a script. It's a hard thing to do. And I'm not some idiot who thinks that...she could just walk in as an actress and think she could do whatever...she wants and make a good film. Good films take a lot more than one person," she added.
