I don't bow down to the federal government.

This is the sheriff you’re talking about, with a gun and badge that enforces the law. Nothing is going to stop me from cracking down on illegal immigration as long as the laws are there.

Maybe today you could have shot anybody and get away with it. So there's many times, I could have killed people. Legally, I could have killed many people, especially working undercover.

I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.

If you come across illegal aliens committing crimes, other crimes, you deport them.

I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.

Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.

We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.

I don't use e-mail or u-mail or whatever it's called.

Some people call me a publicity hound.

I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.

To learn to love, one must first learn to see.

I had an idea of what I thought was funny. It's kind of based on how I am.

I have great respect for the news and great respect for freedom of the press and all of that.

I love imagining being someone else in another time.

A peaceful man must fight For that which peace demands,— Freedom and faith, honor and right, Defend with heart and hands.

The world should take note: not everything is getting worse.

Acting is a form of deception, and actors can mesmerize themselves almost as easily as an audience.

Money is only important when you don't have any.

If I end up showering first, I shower really quickly for the sake of the other tired members.

Because we have this whole other human being we have to think about other than ourselves. We had the luxury before of being totally self-centered.
