I might just write a novel next. I don't know!
Frank Ocean
Image
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.

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.

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.

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.

If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.

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

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.

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.
Frank Ocean
Image
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.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

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.

If it brings me to my knees, it's a bad religion

I don't intend to stop making music.

As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity.

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.

When you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you're sad you understand the lyrics.
