Related : Sarah Paulson Is "Horrifying" on "AHS: Hotel"

Sarah Paulson is going bad for American Horror Story: Hotel, and she likes it. The Emmy nominee (sadly not a winner yet—what gives, Television Academy?!) is playing Hypodermic Sally—not Sally Hypodermic, it's not her last name—a junkie with more than her fair share of problems. Sally's a far cry from the heroic Lana Winters of AHS: Asylum and witchy Cordelia of AHS: Coven.

"Sally is a very dark girl, but also a very broken girl. I think of her sort of as a broken ragdoll," Paulson told Kristin Dos Santos in the video above shot on set of AHS: Hotel. "She has a lot of emotion, she's got a lot of fire in her belly."

Sally once hoped of becoming a singer, but that dream was dashed. Now she's kicking it around Hotel Cortez with a bevy of other color characters including Lady Gaga's The Countess, a hemophiliac (not a vampire!), Kathy Bates' Iris, Matt Bomer's Donovan and Angela Bassett's Ramona. But American Horror Story: Hotel isn't Paulson's only TV gig this time around. Like last year, she's playing two roles, but it's on two different shows this year. Paulson is filming both AHS: Hotel and Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson at the same time, going from Sally to Marcia Clark. Why's she doing it?
