There's only 5 real jobs in the world. Teacher, fireman, policeman, doctor and somebody who is in the armed service. If you don't have one of those 5 jobs, you shouldn't take your life that serious.

Every time I hear the word conservative it makes me sick to my stomach.
Charles Barkley
Christian is going to be the strongest man in the NBA next year, because all he's been doing all summer is carrying around the luggage for 11 guys.
Charles Barkley
You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.
Charles Barkley
If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them.
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
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
Charles Barkley
Only poor people go to jail.
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'm not a role model.
Charles Barkley
I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola's in trouble.
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
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
The older I get, the faster I was.
Charles Barkley
People say I eat a lot. I really don't. More or less I just eat all the time.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.
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
I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
