Q.16 How would you sum up your work at this stage of your career?

JMJ: 'Oxygene carries who I am. It takes time to assume who you are, to accept that you're not doing jazz or rap or classical music or rock or whatever — you are able to do one thing in your life and try to improve this thing and that I think you have to repeat. I'm a great believer in the idea that you have to repeat yourself, over and over and over again, to make it happen, to finally find what you are trying to express. I mean everybody is doing the same movie, everybody is doing the same record but each time trying to improve or to reject what he has done in the past, and then at one stage you are in phase with yourself and the audience and I hope Oxygene 7-13 carries the touch of naiveté or spontaneity that I had for the first one, linked with experience and where I am today.
