Only a couple of guys should be talking in practice.

A lot of people didn't see me play in Sacramento. I think we had one TV game.

I try to give as much advice as possible.

My arms are pretty long.

First of all, I'm misunderstood in general. I don't mind because I'm very quiet, and I stay to myself. People are going to say what they want to say.

I'm going to compete every possession.

A trade is a trade, but it's different as far as summertime versus in the season.

The only thing that can conquer hate is love.

The point guard is always the leader on the floor, regardless: the extension out there on the floor for the coach.

I play the game the right way.

Every night, I go out there, and I try to compete and win.

Getting a tear in my ACL in 2012 puts a lot of things in perspective about being able to play the game.

I play the game hard; I play the game with an edge.

No better way to bond than food.

I might be out of the league if I didn't have a guy like K.G. to show me the ropes and a coach like Doc Rivers.

I take accountability for my actions.

Everyone wants to believe Chris Paul is a good guy. They don't know he's a horrible teammate. They don't know how he treats people.

Hopefully I'll be a GM one day, or even a coach, teaching the game to the young guys.

With the ball in your hands as the point guard, you want to be able to control the game and take care of it.

I take pride in being a great teammate.

I think I stand up more often than I should on defense. I've got to be solid and continue to get better.

When we're able to get stops, get the ball off the glass and run, you never know who's going to get the ball. Everyone takes off, runs to their spots, and the ball just finds the open man.

I'm a poet.

Every team I've played on has players-only meetings, players staff meetings, so this is part of the process.

If given an opportunity, knowing I'll play 36 minutes a night, I can perform at a high level. Spotty or inconsistent minutes, which have been the case in the past, then the numbers fluctuate.

You can get caught up in making and missing shots, but the game is so much more.

I'm an extension of the coach on the floor.

I always feel like I can teach.

I try to do what's best for the team.

I try to watch film with teammates and help them as well, so that's just part of the game, part of playing.

I don't really read the papers.

I'm not a trash-talker.

I've been basically challenged my whole life.

I have no doubts about what my talents can do.

I believe you learn every day.

I don't mind being judged or pressure being put on myself.

I am who I am. I don't try to be something I'm not.

Without no disrespect to any artist, there's a lot of degrading music out there as far as degrading the culture and degrading society as well. That's individuals that choose to make that kind of music.

I love, you know, a lot of jazz, John Coltrane.

I love Kanye for that. Being a producer, making beats, and being a rapper. He does it all.

I always went left to what everybody else was doing. I'm used to going against the grain.

I love Jay-Z, I love Kanye, and I praise the way he's been able to bring more business out of the jungle.

I was always a laid-back, subdued person, and I just try to let that speak through my music.

When I broke up with Eric B., I went on a little hiatus. Then all I was trying do is find producers. It's real hard, man.

One of the main reasons why it didn't work out for me and Aftermath is because I felt my music should sound one way, and they felt it should sound another. But, I learned a lot from watching Dre, and when I left California, I knew it was time for me to get my own label.

I'm more of a wordsmith, so I like taking different words and trying to see what I can do with them - as many things as possible.

People think the older you get, the wacker you get. I think the older I get, the better I get.

My kids listen to rap, so I try to keep up with as much as I can.

I was an athlete in college - a quarterback, a leader - so people telling me what to do doesn't work.

I had a lot of respect for Prodigy. He brought the hood to the booth. When we were trying to shape this rap thing into something, he was one of the cats I respected for bringing the hood into the booth.
