Curling is not a sport. I called my grandmother and told her she could win a gold medal because they have dusting in the Olympics now.

More quotes by Charles Barkley
Poor white people and poor black people just don't know how much they have in common. Rich people don't give a damn about either group.
Charles Barkley
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
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 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 like to help poor people who got no chance. If rich people don't, who will? Not other poor people, that's for sure.
Charles Barkley
When you get arrested it's in big letters. When you get acquitted it's in small letters.
Charles Barkley
They always try to make it like jocks discriminate against gay people. I've been a big proponent of gay marriage for a long time, because as a black person, I can't be in for any form of discrimination at all.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model, parents should be role models.
Charles Barkley
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
Charles Barkley
Listening to a woman is almost as bad as losing to one. There are only three things that women are better at than men: cleaning, cooking, and having sex.
Charles Barkley
I think you have an obligation to be honest.
Charles Barkley
Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
Charles Barkley
I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.
Charles Barkley
If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.
Charles Barkley
All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine.
Charles Barkley
There's nobody you'd rather beat than your good friend.
Charles Barkley
I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It.
Charles Barkley
I played against him (Wilkins) in college. Getting nominated with him, that's pretty cool.
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
