Pop sensation Lady Gaga was "miserable" before landing her dream role on US TV show "American Horror Story: Hotel".
The "Born This Way" singer made her first major TV debut as the blood-thirsty owner of a cursed hotel last year and she admits prior to scoring the role, she felt like she had hit a wall with her creativity in music, leaving her frustrated and unsatisfied.
"When I wasn't working on the show I was truly miserable because I had no safe house to get out any of my vices," she told James Franco, who conducted an interview for V magazine.
"Now I have a safe house for my vices so when I'm making music I just have a lot more clarity. I have a little less of an instinct to be reckless with my music now because I'm reckless in other places.
