Only poor people go to jail.
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 think you have an obligation to be honest.
Charles Barkley
I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.
Charles Barkley
When you get arrested it's in big letters. When you get acquitted it's in small letters.
Charles Barkley
I just thank God for Dennis [Rodman], cause he makes me look like a saint.
Charles Barkley
This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.
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
I always laugh when people ask me about rebounding techniques. I've got a technique. It's called just go get the damn ball.
Charles Barkley
I'm never embarassed.
Charles Barkley
If you're scarde to fail, you don't deserve to be successful.
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
They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model.
Charles Barkley
Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season.
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
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
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
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
All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine.
