More quotes by 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

Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model, parents should be role models.
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 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
When you're black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It's a dirty, dark secret I'm glad it's coming out.
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
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley
If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them.
Charles Barkley
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
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
If you're scarde to fail, you don't deserve to be successful.
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'm still going to Disney World.
Charles Barkley
He's got to bring something stronger than that. That's like bringing milk to a bar, it's not strong enough
Charles Barkley
If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?
Charles Barkley
It ain't like we're curing cancer or anything, we're watching basketball.
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.
