Ryan Murphy on casting Gaga:
"I was at a construction site and my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number. [I answer and] I hear 'Please hold for Gaga.' I think 'Bad Romance' was playing. Then she got on the phone. At first I thought it was a prank, but we then had a lovely call."

Lady Gaga on going back to her dark side: 
"I've just been weeping while I'm here because I have returned to something I've believed in so much, which is the art of darkness It's not something that everyone understands, but, for the people that do — Horror Story fans, my fans — there is a true connection between us, and it's a language within itself."

Ryan Murphy on Gaga's blood-loving character:
"I prefer the term 'ancient blood virus. It's really a form of hemophilia, in a way."

American Horror Story: Hotel begins airing on October 7th.
