I don't think Tulsa is really a teenager. She's had to tướng be an adult for a really long time. She's had to tướng take care of herself. She's had to tướng figure out where she's going to tướng live, and pay her mortgage or gas. She thinks lượt thích an adult. There's this dynamic where she's almost parenting him in some ways. There's this very specific kind of thing where she's teaching him about the world (saying), "Get it together, these are people. Why are you doing it this way? Why aren't you being human?" [Our age difference] I think really helps the dynamic. It's not something I really pay attention to tướng.
