But I also sense I could have just as easily happened to be at any point in history. ROSALÍA: Do you feel that you belong to this world and time?įRANK OCEAN: Yes, very much so. JANET MOCK: In a world where you can acquire or be given any material good, have access to the most exclusive spaces, and broadcast yourself for the gaze of a distracted public, is privacy the ultimate luxury, the one thing no one can truly buy? If not, what is the most unattainable non-tangible thing for you?įRANK OCEAN: Privacy, maybe, but really it’s time and expertise and love and joy.

Like a stone stoned.įRANK OCEAN: Oh yes babes I’m a freak… in control. A good amount of physical activity during the week and verbalising positivity is key!ĪRI MARCOPOULOS: How did you sleep last night?įRANK OCEAN: Like a stone. I like that I’m taking a foreign language class every morning (with coffee haha) because I think that it sharpens my brain before the day. Cold water kinda brings me back into the game of it all. If anything my personal life needs the GPS sometimes.ĪMANDLA STENBERG: What practices do you rely on – in mind, body and soul – to create and protect the space from which you channel your artistry?įRANK OCEAN: Freezing cold showers in the morning.

What’s the scene, what’s the scent, what’s the feeling?įRANK OCEAN: OK, so the scene is a city half overgrown by jungle and it feels like you and your lover laid out like two letter Xs in the shade on a beach, and the faint scent of tigerlilies, BBQ and sweat.ĪRCA: Are there any similarities or differences between Frank and Christopher? Do you have any other names or nicknames you like to go by that you wanna share? Kiss on your forehead byeeeįRANK OCEAN: Christopher is a triangle wave. VIVIANE SASSEN: What is your first memory from childhood?įRANK OCEAN: Watching figure-skating with my great-grandmother when I was around two years old. JOHN WATERS: What is the most insane film you’ve ever seen?įRANK OCEAN: Nymphomaniac is the most insane one I’ve seen recently.ĪVA NIRUI: What’s your favourite cereal and do you think it’s acceptable to eat cereal at any point in the day?įRANK OCEAN: I love super-sugary cereal like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios – but I don’t really eat ’em any more because they’re super-sugary. MICHAEL MAYREN: If you could travel back in time to meet 15-year-old Christopher Breaux, what would you say to him?įRANK OCEAN: Keep brushing and wear your du-rag every night!
