Marsha Norman

Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.

People listen to music with cavemen ears: Is it a bird song or the call of a lion? The audience at a musical is dancing in their hearts.

If I had not had music in my life, I would be the neurasthenic vision of the playwright.

I was on the pro-Nirvana, anti-Pearl Jam bandwagon.

In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.

I like involved projects. I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
