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

Charles Barkley
Every time I hear the word conservative it makes me sick to my stomach.
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
If you are an ugly woman, you have no chance of getting a TV job.
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

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
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
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
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
Charles Barkley
Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's old enough to take care of that herself.
Charles Barkley
I'm afraid of the skeletons in my closet. I've got a whole cemetery full of them.
Charles Barkley
I'm just what America needs: another unemployed black man. (on his retirement from basketball)
Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
We're not all supposed to think alike.
Charles Barkley
When you get arrested it's in big letters. When you get acquitted it's in small letters.
