Know Quotes

Quotes on knowing and being known.

These quotes explore both sides of 'know' - the sharp insight of knowing an opponent's weakness in sports, and the disorienting feeling of not knowing anyone after moving to a new city. Related reading includes Always Quotes.

I never watch anything I do. I really would rather just not know at all how I come across.

Quotes by Sophie Okonedo

I haven't just been swanning around Hollywood, you know.

Quotes by Sophie Rundle

I get embarrassed saying what I do. If you're chatting to a cabbie, and they don't know you're an actor, I cringe because it's always coupled with the inevitable, 'So, what have I seen you in?' And you're left reciting...

Quotes by Sophie Rundle

I always have roles with a depressing childhood for some reason. I have a nice childhood, so I don't know why.

Quotes by Sophia Lillis

I've always wanted to be - I know people think this is an insult - but a jack of all trades.

Quotes by Sophia Lillis

I know so many acting careers that are deliberately kickstarted by a publicist placing a bit of rubbish in a newspaper. And I don't want that. If someone recognises me, I want it to be because they've seen me in...

Quotes by Sophia Myles

Quotes by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

I'm someone who has always been quite clear about what I like. In the studio, I'm not a control freak but I know what I want.

Quotes by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

I want people to get to know me, because I want to get to know them.

Quotes by Sophie Gregoire Trudeau

I know a lot of crime writers feel very underrated, like they're not taken seriously, and they want to be just thought of as writers rather than ghettoised as crime writers, but I love being thought of firmly as a...

Quotes by Sophie Hannah

Crime fiction is a way of satisfying that nosy need to know.

Quotes by Sophie Hannah

I don't know much about pop music, and we sample music from all different cultures. I was trained in West African dance, so my sense of rhythm when I move is obviously informed by that, and I obviously sing in...

Quotes by Sophie Hawley-Weld

The thing about being a dancer-turned-actor is that you know what hard work is.

Quotes by Sonoya Mizuno

Quotes by Sonu Nigam

Getting wasted is only OK when you're young enough to not know better.

Quotes by Sophia Bush

So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's...

Quotes by Sophia Bush

I studied acting for five years. I quit college at that point. You know, I go hard. When I know I'm supposed to go in a direction, I'm fully committed and I go all the way. Everything falls to the...

Quotes by Sonja Sohn

What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be...

Quotes by Sonny Bono

There isn't really a whole lot to know about me.

Quotes by Sonny Mehta

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Know" page?
A mix of sports, career, and social observations — a sharp scouting line about Koufax's weakness at the plate, a reflection on not knowing many people after moving to a new city, a note about a lesser-known Broadway credit, and a football transfer story involving Inter, Liverpool, and Galatasaray.
Are these quotes mostly about sports?
Not exclusively — two touch on sports and competition, but others are about feeling like a stranger in a new city or being underappreciated for past work, like a Broadway role people "don't know" about.
Is there a quote here about surprising choices?
Yes — the line about several clubs wanting a player, with people surprised he chose Galatasaray over Liverpool, captures an unexpected decision well.
How does "Know" differ from <a href="/like-quotes">Like</a> quotes?
"Know" quotes are about information, awareness, and being (or not being) recognized, while "Like" quotes are more about preference and taste.
What if I want something more consistently upbeat?
Good quotes or Always quotes lean more positive, while "Know" quotes here are more observational. For something closer to personal identity, Me quotes is also worth checking.

Others touch on being unknown for past work, or clubs wanting advance knowledge of a player's next career move. See Good Quotes and Me Quotes for related themes.
