I've been fortunate to be short my entire life. There's only one position I've ever had to play, and that's a point guard. So I've always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.

Here are a few more Chris Paul quotes.
Being small (for NBA).
I'm a little brother. I've always been small. People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.
The most valuable thing.
I always have said that the most valuable thing I have isn't money; it's my time.
Winning.
I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And that's what gets people to buy into your brand - being a winner.
Who he is.
No matter where you put me, I don't care if it is North Carolina, Florida, California, New York City; I'm going to be who I am.
Other cultures.
One of the things you learn when you go overseas is how much a lot of the countries overseas really just like to enjoy life.
Talkativeness.
You don't always have to be a leader and be as vocal as I am. I'm sure some people would love it if I didn't talk as much as I did.
Best mate.
Most of the time, if you ask a kid who's their best friend, it's usually a classmate or their neighbor or something, but for me, it was my granddad. Everybody knew him - they called him Mr. Jones.
Loving other people.
I love people. I hate to be by myself.
Hip-hop culture.
I don't care what anybody says, there's nothing like the cultural influence of hip-hop. For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.
His ability to dunk.
I can dunk! I can dunk, and not just in NBA Live.
