Shailene Woodley has been one busy lady.

The 22-year-old actress has been starring in major blockbusters since she came onto the scene, from The Descendents to Divergent to her upcoming adaptation The Fault in Our Stars. But it looks like this star is ready to slow things down and explore her other options.

Speaking to V magazine, Woodley said that she's OK with waiting for another amazing script after the John Green adaptation and added, "I'm going to lie low and explore some of life's other artistic facets."

However, before Shailene begins her next chapter, she's busy promoting her upcoming film that will surely leave you sobbing in the theater (seriously, take some tissues).

"It's a beautiful cancer movie that isn't about cancer," she told the mag of The Fault in Our Stars. "It's about internal exploration, eternal connection, and universal, unconditional love."

In the film, Woodley's love interest is played by Ansel Elgort, who also played her brother in Divergent. Weird? Um, yeah, just a little bit. "It's so much fun, cause I've always wanted to make out with my brother," Woodley jokingly told E! News at the junket for Fault.

"I actually didn't think at first that he would get it, or that even if he was good, that he wouldn't get it, because of our relationship in Divergent," Woodley admitted.

But when the pair did a screen test together, Elgort blew the casting team way. "Everybody in the room was sort of like 'wow,'" a very proud Woodley gushed.

The Fault in Our Stars opens June 6.
