Not that I ever did anything wrong. I was just aggressive. That's the way I am in my life.

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

If I'm hated, okay. I don't believe that.

I still think people like to hear from someone's heart and how they really feel than the old political rhetoric trying to not say the wrong thing because how would it look, would they get votes, lose votes.

I just can't surrender. I can't start something and then surrender because of political reasons. I just don't do that, and that goes back to me, why I keep running when I should probably take it easy, even though I have no hobbies, and enjoy the rest of my life.

Some people call me a publicity hound.
