“I’ve gotten used to being Frank Ocean.”

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.

I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.

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.

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

You just do what you can and you have as much fun as possible.

Once I catch you in one lie, it makes me question everything you said.

I believe that marriage isn’t between a man and woman; but between love and love.

You can’t think; you just gotta do things.

Go for someone who is proud to have you.

Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

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

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

I don’t fear anybody at all.

I’m about being the best.

It’s not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.

I’m a brand ambassador. I’ve been a fan of Nip+Fab for a while, so it fit perfectly. I just love their stuff.

Versace has always been a brand that I’ve loved, a brand that has supported me. I’ve been wearing Versace for so long, I come in here and I have friends here, and they really support what it is that I do. Our partnership has been great.

There’s an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled.

Your personal core values define who you are, and a company’s core values ultimately define the company’s character and brand. For individuals, character is destiny. For organizations, culture is destiny.

I enjoy just being me. I don’t need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.

Every person has a signature. Just some people don’t know it yet.

A great brand is a story that never stops unfolding.

The brand is just a lagging indicator of a company’s culture.
