It’s definitely not a normal 9-to-5, and if you’re expecting that, you’re going to be thrown off. It takes a lot of hours and people to put it together. I could call Sam and say, “Hey, I never want to do a scene like that again,” and he’d be like, “OK.”Īround the end of the previous season, there were reports about how Sam runs his set. Sam is so incredible, but he would never force us or make us feel a certain way about it. But I never said any scenes were unnecessary - things were taken out of context. It’s another person that’s an advocate for you, and it’s very technical. And having an intimacy coordinator on set is so incredible. Sam does a beautiful job on what he does convey through the eyes of the audience, and through the eyes of Nate with Cassie, or Cassie’s own mind through sexuality. I’ve always wanted to make sure that anything that is used sexually through Cassie actually is moving the story forward.

I’ve always felt that there are necessary moments Cassie only knows how to communicate through her body. What did you learn from that experience about where your personal boundaries are?

We go back to our trailers and hang out, watch TV or random videos - truly just hanging out and decompressing with one another.Ī few months ago, you spoke about having a voice and what you’re comfortable with when filming, particularly the nude scenes. It’s basically like slumber parties every day. We’re all experiencing this together, and we spend a lot of time together. We have a really strong sisterhood on set. How do your co-stars support one another when you’re going through tense arcs? I stress myself out, and half the time my mom’s like, “You’re doing it to yourself,” and I’m like, “But it’s the craft!” I always felt like it wasn’t natural and organic, so I just started doing my own thing.

When I was auditioning, I would not understand all these acting coaches wanting to rehearse a certain way and not build a person. I am an arts-and-crafts kind of person - Michaels is my heaven. When I was little, I had all these imaginary friends and worlds, and I love creating things. Was this something that came to you organically? However long I have! For Cassie, because we had to wait to find out whether we were picked up in season one and then we had such a long gap between season one and season two, I had an immense amount of time to be able to work on it. I’m able to organically react however that person would because there is a life behind it. We all are who we are because of our memories and moments that have happened throughout our lifetimes. I create an entire world for her so that I know how something is going to trigger her because of a moment that happened in her life.

Sydney Sweeney as Cassie Howard in HBO’s drama series Euphoria.īasically, it’s my character’s entire life in a book, and I fill in all the gaps that maybe aren’t in the scripts. Being able to jump in and out easily definitely saved my sanity. It’d be very heavy if I had to think about everything Cassie was going to have to go through because she did have so many hard, emotional scenes. Once they call cut, I’m able to jump into Sydney and be completely separate from all of it.

They aren’t premeditated, it’s just however Cassie would naturally react to something. Whatever is said to Cassie, whatever happens to Cassie, truly are reactions during that moment. I don’t really have to do a process or think of anything other than the homework that I’ve put into Cassie, because I’m able to live in the moment through her. I’ve created a very safe bridge for myself to become my characters where I create these character books that allow me to lose myself as Sydney completely.

Your character finds herself in dark moments this season. I’m a very picky eater, so there was random stuff getting put into my mouth and I know that that was the most difficult. And I had to hold it in my mouth as my mouth was getting filled with God knows what and act as if nothing was happening. And the ones I had the hardest time with was in the hot tub with all the girls and Nate because I actually had to hold this tube in my mouth that was getting pumped with fake throw up. I feel like I personally thrive and thoroughly enjoy very difficult, emotional up and down roller coaster scenes of Cassie. What was your most challenging scene this season?
