The Rockets paid a healthy price for Chris Paul.

I always said if I had a son, I was going to give him a unique name.

I enjoyed my time in Houston but it was short-lived and it really didn't make a huge impression on my life.

I've always said to my teammates that 'two points is two points, whether it's yours or mine.'

Even though I've been tagged as a scorer and a guy who shoots a lot, I'm a guy that makes the best plays that I possibly can.

A.I. didn't ask me to do a bunch of stuff for him. He just wanted me around. Usually we were at the Friday's in Philly, which he should have bought, because he was there so much.

I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.

What I'm saying is that government doesn't work for people. There is a perception of it and a reality of it.

Obviously, I believe that Rahm Emanuel's leadership has failed. Obviously, I believe we need change.

I've been lucky and I recognize that, but I haven't lost sight of that girl I was.

I learned early on about the real meaning of equity and inclusion, and that when those guiding principles are not met, they can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities.

I think of being the mayor of a big city with so many incredible things happening - but also so many challenges and opportunities - as really being kind of the chief advocate for the people.

Chicago is an incredibly great city, but it was clear to me that greatness wasn't being spread to all our neighborhoods.

I grew up in a small town in a low-income family and was the only black kid in my elementary school. I felt like an outsider, and since I didn't know of LGBT people - much less LGBT black women - living happy, healthy, and successful lives, I didn't believe I could ever marry or have a child.

Community isn't something I ever take for granted.

When you decide you're going to be a public servant, you should not be able to take on interests that conflict with the city.

People feel like city government is corrupt. They feel like it doesn't work unless you have clout.

Being the mayor of the third largest city in the country, that's humbling, but it also gives me incredible hope.

When I was in my 20s and kind of going through my own coming out process, I feared that I would lose my family. I feared that I would grow old alone. And that was a real part of my struggle.

It's true that not every day a little black girl in a low-income family from a segregated steel town makes the runoff to be the mayor of the third-largest city in America.

If you really want to make a difference you don't do it via Tweet, via Facebook, via Instagram - you get down, you understand what the facts are and then you offer a path forward.

If you look at the number of aldermen who have been prosecuted and found liable of federal crimes over the years... the common thread among all of them is doing something in the exercise of aldermanic prerogative or privilege.

I have to explain to my daughter what it means when adults lie. I have to explain to my daughter what it means when adults are bullies. I have to explain to my daughter what it means when an adult says something that's not true just to try to score political points.

There's significant movement as far to the left in our party as far as you can go, where people are trying to out-Bernie Bernie.
