More quotes by Frank Ocean
I don't intend to stop making music.
Frank Ocean
Smile, it's easier than explaning why you're sad
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
As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.
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
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
It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.
Frank Ocean
Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.
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.

I might just write a novel next. I don't know!
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
My TV ain't HD, that's too real
Frank Ocean
People are just afraid of things too much … Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I'm black. They could do the same just because I'm American.
Frank Ocean
Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.
Frank Ocean
Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem. I guess everything in life is a math problem, but it can be more about an empirical route to getting the symmetry that you want, and this vibe, sonically.
Frank Ocean
Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.
Frank Ocean
I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.
Frank Ocean
I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.
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
Just remember someone loves everything you hate about yourself.
