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

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

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

Any of us can live without affecting one another.

It’s a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.

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

Don’t ever play with someone’s feelings, you could win the game but you could lose that person forever.

I don’t know anything and neither do you.

Art’s everything we hope life would be, a lot of times.

I enjoy singing music with my audience.

It’s more interesting for me to figure out how to be superior in areas where I’m naive, where I’m a novice.

Never run back to what broke you.

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

I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.

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

As long as your intentions are solid and about growth and progression and being productive and not being idle, then you’re doing good in my book.

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.

The incredible brand awareness and bottom-line profits achievable through social media marketing require hustle, heart, sincerity, constant engagement, long-term commitment, and most of all, artful and strategic storytelling.

It’s still so rare for anyone to be personally acknowledged by a brand that the impact of such a simple, polite gesture on a customer’s buying habits could be huge.

Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.

Our belief is that if you get the culture right, most of the other stuff, like great customer service, or building a great long-term brand or empowering passionate employees and customers, will happen on its own.

If you don’t have the confidence to own the worth of your brand and share it unapologetically, you won’t make a massive impact.

Customers must recognize that you stand for something.

Great companies that build an enduring brand have an emotional relationship with customers that has no barrier. And that emotional relationship is on the most important characteristic, which is trust.

Instead of telling a story about how great your brand is, try telling a story that shows you completely understand and empathize with your customer and their life.
