Sarah Paulson is a massive Lady Gaga fan, but the Emmy-nominated American Horror Story star says she needs to tone it down before she begins working with the pop star.

"I am just such a super fan," she told Deadline. "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. 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."

Sarah and Gaga met on the set of American Horror Story: Hotel last week but haven't filmed any scenes together yet.

Hotel begins airing on October 7th on FX.
