Milla Jovovich is pregnant with baby number two and she seems to be craving for Michelle Rodriguez to have a little one too.
The actresses shared a lengthy phone conversation with Interview magazine and Michelle explained she has unfinished business to tend to before she takes on the role of a lifetime – motherhood.
"I cherish what you do—having kids—but don't leave that s*** to me. I'll get a surrogate," Michelle told her gal pal. "I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and because of that, it has taken me so long to grow into an adult human being. I wouldn't want to sacrifice the last years that I have of being youthful in this business to have kids.

"I'm 36, Milla. It's been 15 years since I was the lead in my own feature, in 'Girlfight.' So I haven't done what I came here to do. I'm just kind of fiddling around. I haven't even been born yet. I've been part of really big things that are amazing, but I haven't taken on that responsibility yet. So I don't want to sell myself short by having a kid and then regret not doing what I set out to do," she continued.
No matter how much Milla tried to convince her to rethink her outlook on child rearing, Michelle could not be swayed. She's not ready to settle down in a long-term relationship quite yet.
"I have absolutely nothing consistent in my life. But that's where serendipity comes in and I love that. One day I'm going to have to sacrifice that to bring life into the world. But the more I can hold off on that, the happier I'll be," she admitted. "It's scary for me. I'm a lone wolf. I run by myself on most things. I've got lots of really great friends, but the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? Psh, I couldn't last more than six months with somebody, let alone have a father figure around for a kid. I mean, if I could give a kid a father figure, that would be amazing."
She remains optimistic that one day, perhaps, she will find true love.
"I just want that unconditional love, the kind you get with a family member," she elaborated. "You might get lucky enough to find that unconditional love in a friend or a lover, but it's very rare. So if I ever have a kid, it'd be so that I could look in those eyes and know that this child is a piece of me and will love me the same way I love, but I think that's selfish of me."
Milla – already mother to daughter Ever Gabo – takes a different approach on her love life.

"I've looked at relationships this way: you're either going to be that person who is always looking to what's next, to who's around the corner, or you could just be in the relationship that you're in and make it work—not abusive relationships—but something good," Milla explained. "Because, in the end, it doesn't matter who it is—once you get past that two-year mark, you start looking over their shoulder, going, 'Is this really what I want?' It's true. It's a natural human instinct. We're not swans that will die when our mate dies. I see some of my friends my age who are still always running after some new guy, and it's so sad. Which is where kids come in."
There has been much speculation in the press surrounding Michelle's dating preferences. She's been linked to Kristianna Loken, Cara Delevigne and Zac Efron.
"I've always been and will always be very private about my personal life. If anything ever goes public, it is by default, because I happened to be in a place where I was being watched," she said. "But for the most part, I honestly don't care what people think. I never have. If I did, I'd probably present myself a little more carefully."
Whether or not Michelle chooses to pass her genes on to children of her own, she does hope her legacy in film inspires generations to come.
"People don't like talking about it, but if you're Spanish, you feel a weight. I don't have much history—I've got Rosie Perez, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Moreno," she said of other famous Latinas. "That's it. That's the history of Latin women in Hollywood, really. I'm like, 'Well, damn, that means that I have to carry a flag.' I don't have the freedom to just do anything, because I have the political weight of having this last name and my heritage. It's not like I've transcended, Will Smith-style. It takes a lot to pull that off, to cross over, and transcend."
Michelle can be seen in "Furious 7," which opens in theaters on April 3.
