I like having a projector because you can just play things that are aesthetically pleasing, and it’s almost like a moving picture frame in your apartment. But at the beginning of quarantine, when I was holed up in my apartment writing, I always had it playing on my projector-just the visuals, no sound. Why is Neon Genesis Evangelion the show that got you through quarantine?Īnyone who’s into anime should watch this show it’s a masterpiece. But I do feel as though I have learned how to refall in love with my alone time after seeing it in a new light and going through all of the phases of isolation in quarantine. I knew that was going to change because of work starting, but I didn’t know it was going to change because of a pandemic. It was pretty frequent I was kind of surprising myself with that. I was doing an every-weekend thing, plus maybe a weekday or two. ![]() But at the same time, before quarantine, my relationship to alone time had been changing-I was going out a lot. But I absolutely 100 percent miss all the social things that we can’t do right now, like dancing with my friends, just being dumbasses in the city. I will always and forever be an introvert.

Although Zendaya-as-Rue was certainly central to the show’s appeal, Schafer’s Jules emerged as an equally intriguing person in creator Sam Levinson’s universe: a transgender teenage girl searching for friendship and recognition while engaging in a series of trysts with older men.īut if Schafer did any work on Euphoria in the past six months, the world won’t find out just yet-the start date for production on season 2 is still unknown, and when the 21-year-old actress calls from a hotel in L.A. Euphoria can be described as nothing short of a sensation: When it debuted, in June 2019, HBO’s audience numbers increased by 130 percent within four days of the premiere of the first episode due to replays and streaming. ![]() It’s also possible that, somewhere in there, she worked on Euphoria, the HBO show in which she plays Jules, the charming best friend and love interest of Zendaya, whose character is named Rue. Then she purchased a truck and drove it from California to North Carolina, where her sister lives. ![]() In the beginning, she spent nearly two months locked in her apartment in Los Angeles writing, painting, and creating storyboards nonstop.
