More quotes by Frank Ocean
It's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.
Frank Ocean
If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.
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
Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.
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
Why see the world / when you got the beach?
Frank Ocean
Of course awards matter.
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
It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.
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
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.
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
You can't think. You just have to do things.
Frank Ocean
What do you think my brain is made for? Is it just a container for the mind? This great grey matter, Sensei replied what is your woman, Is she just a container for the child? That soft pink matter
Frank Ocean
Go for someone who is proud to have you.
Frank Ocean
As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.
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 play piano every day. I enjoy that.
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
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.
