I'd rather report to four million people as the elected Sheriff than some governor or president, so I like reporting to the people.

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.

Lost in these imaginary illusions I forgot my destiny – that of the hunted.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

Acting is pretty much my whole life.

I wear a lot of things for fun. Sometimes Ill wear one item that is deliberately stupid because that will make the outfit cool.

Right from day one, you know when you've written a good song.

We were just a one-room bookstore; we didn't have any money for lawyers.

I believe nature is a force of good. Good is not only a concept, it is a spirit

Bits of ignorance are like viruses that are copied and spread by interaction.

In the winter I separate, in the summer I marry. It's been 15 years since I've been getting married every year.

Only your friends steal your books.
