I like to help poor people who got no chance. If rich people don't, who will? Not other poor people, that's for sure.

More quotes by Charles Barkley
Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cause you were too close, kissing his!
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
I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.
Charles Barkley
There's no medical term for what I've got.
Charles Barkley
My wife's married. I'm not.
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'm afraid of the skeletons in my closet. I've got a whole cemetery full of them.
Charles Barkley
It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
Charles Barkley
To me, there's only 5 real jobs in America: Police Officers, Teachers, Firefighters, Doctors, and the Military Service.
Charles Barkley
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
Charles Barkley
If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.
Charles Barkley
Thank God for Jerry Springer's show. I thought only black folks were that screwed up until I watched Jerry Springer.
Charles Barkley
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
Charles Barkley
Most sportswriters don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
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
I'm not a role model.
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
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
Look, I'm in the top 20 of players who ever lived.
Charles Barkley
It ain't like we're curing cancer or anything, we're watching basketball.
