The way that I enjoy these places that I get to travel to is based on my formative years in this place. That’s why, on my passport on Call Me If You Get Lost, I put Hawthorne, California, because, man, people from that area don’t really get to explore the world like that. You just notice things are so ingrained in you because of that environment. Or like, “Tyler, why do you always wear shorts?” Oh, because of where I grew up. As I got older, I’m like, Oh, me growing up with these really wide streets and low buildings and being able to see the sun at the angles we see it and being by the beach is why I can’t be in East Coast cities for too long. I’d just get on the bus and go wherever, because I just hated it. But I don’t know if it was more precise, or if you looked at it with a different lens-I mean figuratively-because you appreciate home differently now. It had an energy, just looking at the photos, it just had a…it was in the same world as the way you shoot. TTC: I remember seeing and knowing that you went back to Georgia. I want to do that.” You know? And he just went for it and re-created it and did what he needed to do. But when was making Inherent Vice, he was like, “I was just watching a bunch of hippie movies and I thought, I like that. Mitchell: That’s one of my favorite movies, so that’s maybe where we have different tastes. I don’t know if you like his movies, like Boogie Nights and things like that. Mitchell: Someone else who I really like who says that is Paul Thomas Anderson. I don’t know how to articulate why I like it, but yes. I love it when someone’s like, “Yeah, I did this.” And you’re like, “Why?” And it’s like, “Because I like it.” I’m like, that is the best answer, because everything doesn’t need a superdeep, I-took-a-psychology-class answer. I like blowing up couches to be three times the size of what they should be. Mitchell: You just go deeper into what you really like, rather than trying to run around or skirt around the thing you like. And I think that’s the best way for people to figure out their style. And every time we make something, we keep trying to get ourselves off equally or even more than the last time we got ourselves off with what we look at, or what we make, or how we sing, or anything like that. That long-ass shirt that you have, that’s what gets you off. And I’m hyped people fuck with it, but sometimes you just know as an artist that that’s your shit. That’s kind of where my brain goes when I look at stuff. So when I’m on a boat, but it’s in grass, but I still dive in it like it’s water, like that’s mad real to me. So my base is just like saying, Oh, what if this happened? Because there are no rules. And that’s kind of how the Tim Burtons were for me. I love Surrealist art, like Mark Ryden, Dalí, Frida, René, because it’s rooted in reality, but it’s like, weird reality. I’ve always loved reality, but shit that’s weird there. I really, I really love…I was never into sci-fi.
