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

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.'

Sometimes I'm fascinated with how famous my work could be while I'm not so famous.

I'm not a centerfold.
