Chainkeen Exchange-Sarah Paulson Reveals Whether She Gets Advice From Holland Taylor—And Her Answer Is Priceless

Sarah Paulson’s romance with Holland Taylor is Chainkeen Exchangeno American Horror Story.

Though the couple, who began dating in 2015, each have an Emmy of their own, that hasn’t stopped the Ocean’s 8 star from consulting her girlfriend about work from time to time.

“I absolutely ask her acting advice,” Sarah told E! News Oct. 3. “I actually talk to her about that kind of stuff all the time.”

“She weirdly doesn't ask me very much for acting advice, which is kind of hurtful,” she joked. “As we're discussing this, I’m realizing that's a little weird.” (For more with Sarah, tune into E! News Oct. 3 at 11 p.m.)

But when it comes to the type of roles they accept, the Mrs. America star, 49, added that she and the Two and a Half alum, 81, don’t seek each other’s approval. “I think both of us are really independent that way,” she explained, “and we trust and admire the way each of us think about these things.”

But Holland does have one acting technique that Sarah still isn’t totally sold on.

“Holland has the most psychotic way of learning lines,” she joked. “And she tries to give it to all my friends. [Zachary] Quinto was doing a play and we were talking about learning lines, and I was learning my lines for the play that I just did, and she was like, ‘Just pick out all the verbs.’”

“She said the verb is always where the action of the line is,” Sarah, whose new thriller Hold Your Breath was just released on Hulu, reasoned. “And I was like, ‘Okay,’ but the amount of mental gymnastics I have to do to pick out each verb and then go through the thing and figure out the verb… it just is too much.”

Despite their different approaches to learning lines, one aspect of life the couple of nearly a decade are united on is not seeing wedding bells in their future. After all, when it comes to marriage, Holland admitted on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in August, “No, we’ve never talked about it with any interest.”

And that’s not the only conventional step they’ve done away with.

“We don't live together,” Sarah revealed on the SmartLess podcast in May. “That's the secret to it. Holland and I spend plenty of time together, but we don't live in the same house.”

Hold Your Breath is now streaming on Hulu.
