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
This place? Nothing positive. OK, I want to say something positive. It's positively a dump.

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
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 just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.
Charles Barkley
I don't create controversies. They're there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.
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
My message is simple: take control of your life
Charles Barkley
I'm really disturbed about the gay marriage thing. Because I think gay people should get married, cause it's their own business ... Because as a Black man, I think you've got to be against any form of discrimination.
Charles Barkley
Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cause you were too close, kissing his!
