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

Now everybody is mafia. You got the Russian mafia, the Mexican mafia. Everybody is mafia these days.

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

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

I would hope to get together with the Latino community, if I could ever have them talk to me without screaming and threatening me. So I hope to get together with the community and try to explain what we do, so that's going to be one of my missions coming up.

I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.

It doesn't matter whether you're black, Hispanic, white. They're all in the same boat.
