Convert MySQL subquery to JOIN query

Question

I'm trying to get the quotes.quote, authors.author and tags.tag from the following table structure,

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `authors` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `author` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `quotes` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `quote` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  `author_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `quotes_author_id_foreign` (`author_id`),
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `quote_tags` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `tag_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `quote_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tags` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `tag` varchar(225) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

ALTER TABLE `quotes`
  ADD CONSTRAINT `quotes_author_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`author_id`) REFERENCES `authors` (`id`);

But here the problem is, there can be multiple entry in the tags table for each quotes and I want to retrieve it in the comma separated format.

Here is what I have tried so far,

SELECT `quotes`.`id` , `quotes`.`quote` , `authors`.`author` , (
  SELECT GROUP_CONCAT( `tag` )
  FROM tags
  JOIN quote_tags
  WHERE quote_tags.tag_id = tags.id
  AND quote_tags.quote_id = quotes.id
) as tags
FROM `quotes`
INNER JOIN `authors` ON `authors`.`id` = `quotes`.`author_id`
INNER JOIN `topics` 

But I don't want to use sub queries to get that done.

Please help me in building this query without using sub queries.

    SELECT `_quotes`.`id` , `_quotes`.`quote` , `_authors`.`author`  
   ,GROUP_CONCAT( `tag` )  
    FROM `_quotes`  
    INNER JOIN `_authors` ON `_authors`.`id` = `_quotes`.`author_id`  
    inner join _tags
    JOIN _quote_tags
    on _quote_tags.tag_id = _tags.id  
    AND _quote_tags.quote_id = _quotes.id  
    INNER JOIN `_topics` group by `_quotes`.`id`,`_tags`.`id`
