A description of the experience
The duet from Jamais plus Jamais
“An Oscar is a gold star, a piece of flattery, the sweet taste of success but, deep down, it doesn’t make you any better or worse as a composer, your strengths or weaknesses remain unchanged. When I was a boy, I imagined that I had a pot of grease with special powers: If I dipped my fingers in it, I would have the technique of a Horowitz. Unfortunately, Oscar statuettes aren’t covered in grease! In any case, that’s not what counts: I wrote all that music for and because of the cinema; without films, none of it would exist.”
