More quotes by Frank Ocean
I don't know anything and neither do you.
Frank Ocean
You can't think. You just have to do things.
Frank Ocean
As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity.
Frank Ocean
Those who are heartless, once cared too much.
Frank Ocean
Go for someone who is proud to have you.
Frank Ocean
Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am, and my attitude depends on who you are.
Frank Ocean
Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.
Frank Ocean
It's just really about trying to do whatever it is I do at a level of excellence. That's really all I'm trying to do while I'm here.
Frank Ocean
As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.
Frank Ocean
It's cool to be recognised by your peers.
Frank Ocean
I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing 'cos that's just... that's just telling yourself a lie.
Frank Ocean
Of course awards matter.
Frank Ocean
I don't have any secrets I need kept any more.
Frank Ocean
In art, at a certain level, there is no 'better than.' It's just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it. Trusting that, just because of the way people are built and how interconnected we are, greatness will translate and symmetry will be recognised.
Frank Ocean
The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.
Frank Ocean
Why see the world / when you got the beach?
Frank Ocean
I've always wanted to make a career in the arts, and I think that my only hope at doing that is to make it more about the work.
Frank Ocean
I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication.
Frank Ocean
Being singer/songwriter implies versatility and being able to create more than one medium, and R&B artist is a box, simple as that. It is 'that's what you do, that's what you are', and that's a little unfair, to me, because I don't just do that. So I like singer/songwriter because it allows me to move a little bit more freely.
Frank Ocean
My grandfather was smart and had a whole lot of pride. He didn't speak a terrible amount, but you could tell there was a ton on his mind - like a quiet acceptance of how life had turned out.
Frank Ocean
