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
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 think the biggest problem is parents are so concerned with being friends with their kids. You're not their friend. You're their parent.
Charles Barkley
If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick. Same thing.
Charles Barkley
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley
Sometimes I have to criticize guys to try to make it fun, I mean, I'm out there trying to bust other people. I want all these guys to do well, but when they do something stupid or don't play well, I try not to kill 'em, I try to make 'em laugh a little bit.
Charles Barkley
If ifs were gifts, every day would be Christmas.
Charles Barkley
They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.
Charles Barkley
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
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
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
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
I was a Republican until they lost their minds
