More quotes by Frank Ocean
I don't have any secrets I need kept any more.
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
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
You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.
Frank Ocean
You can't think. You just have to do things.
Frank Ocean
If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion
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
Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.
Frank Ocean
It's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.
Frank Ocean
Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.
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
A friend of mine jokes that I have a painstaking royalty complex. Like maybe I was a duke in a past life.
Frank Ocean
With my art, it's the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.
Frank Ocean
We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.
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
I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.
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
It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.
Frank Ocean
Of course awards matter.
