I love people that come from another country. I love talking to them.

I'm a very private person, regardless of what the world may think of me.

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.

I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.

The day I leave, you won't know how to pronounce my name. You could care less about me, and I should be dead and buried because there's not one media that will come and remember who Joe Arpaio is. That's the way it is in politics.

I just talk, and I say what I feel, and yet, I'm a nice guy.

The young people when I go to McDonald's, the Hispanic clerks will come by, 'Sheriff, can we have a picture?' over and over again. At least they want a picture with me.
