“I honestly never had ambitions to direct,” admits Pamela Adlon, the co-creator, writer and star of FX’s “Better Things.” But when she took on the task of directing every episode of the comedy’s second season, Adlon expresses a certain degree of surprise as to how much she loved it. As Adlon reveals in our exclusive video interview (watch the video above), “It’s not about being in control. It’s about this one singular vision. That I was able to execute my season that way, it was a dream.”

As a director for the entire season, Adlon says that it was “massively important” to her that everyone on her set “felt respected and taken care of.” Adlon credits her experience working with Tracey Ullman for giving her a model for how to make a set run both happily and efficiently.
