Zitat des Tages von Frank Ocean:

I believe that I'm one of the best in the world at what I do, and that's all I've ever wanted to be.

I can't usually stomach a project after I finish it, but for those days and weeks and months that it's new to me, I do listen to it, and it might change over time, but it's about function.

I grew up in New Orleans. I had just moved into my dorm at the University of New Orleans, and I was doing laundry, and my mom called me, like, 'We've got to evacuate. There's a hurricane's coming.'

Frank Ocean

I can operate in half-a-song format.

Obviously, the cinematography of films is art, just as a still shot can be art. If I'm watching a Wes Anderson movie, the colour palettes alone, and the way they're painted, could be art. With music, you're a little bit limited, of course, because it's only audio.

Frank Ocean

I wrote 'Channel Orange' in two weeks. The end product wasn't always that gritty, real-life depiction of the real struggle that happened.

Frank Ocean

Because I'm not in a record deal, I don't have to operate in an album format.

Frank Ocean

How we experience memory sometimes, it's not linear. We're not telling the stories to ourselves. We know the story; we're just seeing it in flashes overlaid.

I don't fear anybody... at all.

You gotta make sure the listener is listening to you, so if you put it into a song, often times, if the song is striking enough, then you can really deliver the story most effectively while keeping the ear of the listener the whole time.

Frank Ocean

I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.

Frank Ocean

The Internet is just another experiment showing us more sides of us.

Frank Ocean

I'm extremely compassionate, loving, all of those warm fuzzy things, but the outer shell doesn't project that all the time.

Frank Ocean

Of course awards matter.

Frank Ocean

I believe that I'm one of the best in the world at what I do, and that's all I've ever wanted to be.

Frank Ocean

It's hard to articulate how I think about myself as a public figure.

Frank Ocean

Here's what I think about music and journalism: The most important thing is to just press play.

I respect Drake not only as a creative person but as a business mind as well. I think Drake's important.

Frank Ocean

When I did have some success, it further emboldens you to be like, 'No, I'm just going to write what I feel I should write.'

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'm in this business to be creative - I'll even diminish it and say to be a content provider.

Frank Ocean

I have no delusions about my likability in every scenario. I know that in order to get things done the way you want them, oftentimes your position will be unpopular.

Frank Ocean

I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films.

Frank Ocean

I'm not a centerfold.

Frank Ocean

When I was growing up, there was nobody in my family - not even my mother - who I could look to and be like, 'I know you've never said anything homophobic.' So, you know, you worry about people in the business who you've heard talk that way. Some of my heroes coming up talk recklessly like that.

Frank Ocean

It's not essential for me to have a big debut week; it's not essential for me to have big radio records.

Frank Ocean

As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.

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 enjoy singing my songs in front of people.

Frank Ocean

I feel like I was writing as I was learning to talk. Writing was always a go-to form of communication. And I knew I could sing from being in tune with the radio.

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

I'm about being the best.

Frank Ocean

It's cool to be recognised by your peers.

Frank Ocean

This has always been my life and no one else's, and that's how it's always been since the day I came in it.

Frank Ocean

I had writer's block for almost a year.

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

The work is the work. The work is not me.
