"If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it," Johnson told Bustle in an interview published March 5. "I've been really tripping out recently like, we're not here for very long. There's so much to eat up and learn and grow from and experience and feel."
She added, "If I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on."

"I love those kids like my life depends on it," she told Bustle. "With all my heart."
