More quotes by 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 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
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

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
My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, 'Hey, I'm rich'.
Charles Barkley
I don't listen to the refs. I don't listen to anyone who makes less money than I do.
Charles Barkley
They run like deer, jump like deer and think like deer.
Charles Barkley
I want her to understand that it's going to be a factor in her life. I just want her to know that (racism) does exist, and I want her to always be diligent, and if she sees it, address it and fight it.
Charles Barkley
I don't create controversies. They're there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.
Charles Barkley
If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them.
Charles Barkley
My message is simple: take control of your life
Charles Barkley
Everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too.
Charles Barkley
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
Charles Barkley
The most underrated player in NBA history is Dominique Wilkins. Right behind him is Gary Payton. He never has gotten the respect he deserves. If he doesn't spend the rest of his days in Seattle, I hope he goes someplace where he has a chance to win a title.
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 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?'
