More quotes by Frank Ocean
My TV ain't HD, that's too real
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
I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.

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
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.

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
It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.
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
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
I don't intend to stop making music.
Frank Ocean
Go for someone who is proud to have you.
Frank Ocean
Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.
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 might just write a novel next. I don't know!
Frank Ocean
I don't fear anybody... at all.
Frank Ocean
I play piano every day. I enjoy that.
