More quotes by Charles Barkley
I'm so sick and tired of people in the media telling us that because of the war, sports aren't important. Fans need sports. We'd have only crime and war to watch on TV if not for sports.
Charles Barkley
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
Charles Barkley
Christian is going to be the strongest man in the NBA next year, because all he's been doing all summer is carrying around the luggage for 11 guys.
Charles Barkley
It ain't like we're curing cancer or anything, we're watching basketball.
Charles Barkley
They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.
Charles Barkley
I think it sucks that in our country [the USA] there is such a double standard education-wise. Which part of the city you live in, or something like that, determines if you'll be successful, and that's not fair.
Charles Barkley
I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.
Charles Barkley
You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.
Charles Barkley
Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.
Charles Barkley
Poor white people and poor black people just don't know how much they have in common. Rich people don't give a damn about either group.
Charles Barkley
Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.
Charles Barkley
People say I eat a lot. I really don't. More or less I just eat all the time.
Charles Barkley
I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'
Charles Barkley
You know what I always say about basketball whenever anybody tried to tell me the Knicks are gonna be good: They're old. Old people don't get healthy. They die.
Charles Barkley
I was asked for years about being a Republican, probably because most black people are Democrats. My mother heard it once and called me and said 'Charles, Republicans are for the rich people.' And I said, 'Mom, I'm rich.'
Charles Barkley
I didnt wear the pink panties because I didnt want America going crazy with excitement.
Charles Barkley
Any time a little midget does something like this, you gotta give him a 10!.
Charles Barkley
What does politically correct mean? If you're fat, don't ask me if you're fat, because I'm gonna tell you the truth. You're fat.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
Charles Barkley
I don't how anybody taller than 6-4 can sit in those seats. And the airline executives don't give a damn 'cause they never walk back there in the first place. I don't fly first class because I have a lot of money. I do it because I need the room.
Charles Barkley
