Speaking of her decade-long absence, the actress said it was not because she did not get any offers but because none of them inspired or challenged her.

Finally, a decade later, she was intrigued by Madame Rosa, a character that spread “messages of tolerance, love, and inclusion."
As a self-described perfectionist, the actress alluded her collaboration with her son was what she was looking for as an actress. “I’m a perfectionist, but so is he. Edoardo gives me security. He also never gives up until I give him my very best. He knows exactly what buttons to push to get something out of me,” said the actress.
She added that when her son told her "this is it" after they filmed a scene, she knew her performance was what it needed to be.
When asked if she had plans to stop acting any time soon, Loren made sure the answer was a resounding no — "If I like acting, why should I stop?"
