In the interview, Sofia shared what she follows as a golden rule, "Whenever I do see younger actors, the first thing I say is, 'Keep your mom close,' because there's nothing like having family in this business." She continued, "I've been so lucky that [my mom and I are] on this journey together. She protects me fearlessly. So, I always say that." Sofia also spoke about her mom's advice to her, “Whenever I do see younger actors, the first thing I say is, 'Keep your mom close,' because there's nothing like having family in this business." She continued, "I've been so lucky that [my mom and I are] on this journey together. She protects me fearlessly. So, I always say that."

The actor further explained, "It's very easy to get caught up in what's next or more or bigger, but enjoying right here, right now is so important." She also shared that the most important lesson she has learned is the “power of our voice". Lastly, she added, "We're so lucky to be in the position that we are in, to have the platforms that we have, to have voices that are amplified to millions of people around the world, and to take that responsibility seriously."
