You don't do charity work for publicity. Well, I know I don't. Everybody's different.

People have been counting me out since Day One.

I am who I am. I'm unique. I'm my own self.

Who doesn't want the ball? Everyone wants the ball; everyone wants to score.

That's part of the NBA. It's a lot of ups and downs.

In Boston, the year we won the championship, guys were so much different in age. You don't have the same lives off the court.

I try to be two or three steps ahead of my guy, my opponent.

I think I can run a team pretty well.

I just want a ring. Bottom line.

I can do the little things, play defense, dive on the floor to get loose balls, things like that.

Playing for the Bulls, playing for big organizations, like Boston, you're going to be judged from Day One. It's part of it. You signed up for it.

I don't try to come in and act like I know it all, and that's why I put the extra work in of watching film, getting an understanding of what you want from personnel, each player.

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.
