It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness.

More quotes by 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 don't intend to stop making music.
Frank Ocean
I play piano every day. I enjoy that.
Frank Ocean
Each individual's success as a solo artist is pretty much a win for the whole team.
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
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
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
I don't have any secrets I need kept any more.
Frank Ocean
We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor - got her master's with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.
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
Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am, and my attitude depends on who you are.
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
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
You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.
Frank Ocean
I don't fear anybody... at all.
Frank Ocean
As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.
Frank Ocean
The work is the work. The work is not me. I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films. Even though it's my voice, I'm a storyteller.
Frank Ocean
Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.
Frank Ocean
Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.
Frank Ocean
I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.
