Sarah Paulson Says Her Relationship With American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy Is Like A 'Creative Mar

In an interview with The Guardian coinciding with the release of the Ryan Murphy-produced Netflix series “Ratched,” Paulson discussed their relationship, describing it as “the creative marriage of my life.” According to Paulson, Murphy even discusses ideas with her before his own husband.

She finds their partnership hard to explain, and difficult to say why they have the deep bond that they do. Paulson even elaborated that Murphy finds it difficult to break down as well. “I do think we have some things in common. We were both sort of different [as kids]. We were, I think, both ‘big feeling’ kind of people,” she said. Speaking about her award-winning role as Marcia Clark, who was the lead prosecutor in O.J. Simpson’s murder trial, Paulson said, “A lot of women wanted the Marcia Clark part. I don’t know why he thought it should be me. Sometimes I think it’s a good thing to not try to understand every gift you’re given, because it could really come down to just, you know, ‘I couldn’t think of another actor I wanted to be on a set with.”

Perhaps Murphy is always providing Paulson with her next challenge. When talking about her role in “Ratched,” she said she accepted the part because it scared her. “It is so odd for someone like me, because I am such a nervous kind of person…and I think if I feel terrified to do it, I almost feel compelled, that I don’t have a choice,” she explained.
