It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.
Frank Ocean
Image
Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.
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.

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.

You can't think. You just have to do things.

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.

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.

Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am, and my attitude depends on who you are.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

Distance sometimes lets you know who's worth keeping and who's worth letting go.
Frank Ocean
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
With my art, it's the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication.

I don't have any secrets I need kept any more.
