More quotes by Charles Barkley
My message is simple: take control of your life
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 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
The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
Charles Barkley
Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they're still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn't do much for them.
Charles Barkley
Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we're never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.
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
If ifs were gifts, every day would be Christmas.
Charles Barkley
Jerry Krause must have pictures of his boss's wife having sex with a monkey.
Charles Barkley
They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.

To me, there's only 5 real jobs in America: Police Officers, Teachers, Firefighters, Doctors, and the Military Service.
