Paulson recently spoke with Deadline about Gaga, her new American Horror Story co-star. While she is a huge fan of Gaga, she hasn't been able to work with her onscreen yet.

"Well, I haven't worked with her yet. So so far I have not made much movement on that plan," Paulson said, of her plan to befriend the pop superstar.

"But I am just such a super fan. I need to tone it down. I need to start playing it really cool. We all know that everybody who likes somebody, that they have to play a little hard to get - I'm just like a dog in a window panting, waiting to be around her. It's just really pathetic," she admitted.

Paulson thinks Gaga, a theatrical performer already, is a great fit for the dramatic and frequently campy American Horror Story.

"It's really just because I'm in awe of her talent and I really think she's going to be an incredible addition to the show. I just think she's a perfect fit," Paulson said.

Paulson will play a more villainous character in the upcoming fifth season, American Horror Story: Hotel. She will play Hypodermic Sally, a drug addict who lives at the hotel. Meanwhile, Gaga is playing Elizabeth a.k.a. The Countess, the owner of the hotel.

American Horror Story: Hotel premieres Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
