NRAMA:But you mentioned that comic books influenced your latest LP on The Today Show and we have this wonderful quote on the X-Men.

KT: Well, the artwork on my album is kind of less about superheroes and more about characters. Super human and superhero are two different things to me. I’m a big Frank Miller fan. A lot of his characters are superhuman—they can jump from the top of a building and land unhurt in a street full of garbage—but not necessarily superheroes. Also, little Miho can take out ten men and not even break a nail. All the same, they are people.

. . .

KT: Definitely. The reason for my comment on the X-Men and this latest album is life has become super-intensified for me. You meet people like Jack White or Elton John, Annie Lennox and you think these actually are real people. Yet they seem like these extraordinary characters out of comics.
