In a new Q&A with The Guardian, Sofia was asked about the last time she cried and why.

“Two weeks before shooting – after some of our financing dropped out – when the producers said I had to cut a week’s worth of scenes out of my script. I was on location and away from my daughters [currently in middle and high school] who I felt were needing a mother,” she responded.

If you didn’t know, Sofia is the mother of 16-year-old Romy and 12-year-old Cosima.

Sofia is currently in post-production on the movie Priscilla, which is her take on the relationship between Priscilla Presley and her late ex-husband Elvis Presley.

In an interview with the same outlet back in 2017, Sofia also talked about her children, who she shares with husband Thomas Mars. The outlet said, “Coppola’s guard goes up slightly when the subject turns to her family: she keeps a determinedly low public profile, insistent that her daughters’ lives go largely uninterrupted by her career and her travels.”

“I don’t want them ever to be jaded,” Sofia said at the time. “I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. I just want them to have a childhood.”
