Film music must never sound as if it were concert music. While it actually may convey more to the beholder-listener than the camera conveys at a given moment, still it must be never more than the voice of that camera

Charlie Chaplin, 1940

Owen Wilson recited this quote from Chaplin before presenting the award for Best Original Score at the 84th Academy Awards ceremony on February 26, 2012.
