- Sonja Kristina on Norma Tager, who wrote the lyrics for many of the songs on Midnight Wire:
"She and I became very close. I was very depressed over the breakup of my marriage, and that's why she wrote for me. She'd been a writer and had ghost-written things, screenplays, things like that. And you know sometimes when you're low you don't want to write, you're so miserable. So we wrote songs together.
