Throughout my career, I had the great fortune to experience firsthand as well as to witness what it means to be a CIA officer.
I play DEA, CIA, FBI, LAPD; I got 'em all.
I suddenly realized at the CIA that I had to make life-and-death decisions about people.
Not to mention the CIA which should be, I think, dissolved, it's of no use - a great source of mischief - I don't see any point to the FBI.
My CIA godfather told me he'd never heard any American speak Japanese so well.
My government revoked my passport intentionally to leave me exiled. If they really wanted to capture me, they would've allowed me to travel to Latin America, because the CIA can operate with impunity down there. They did not want that; they chose to keep me in Russia.
Famously, the CIA is somewhere where marriages hardly ever last because it's obviously such a strange lifestyle.
What the Agency [CIA] does is ordered by the President and the NSC [National Security Council]. The Agency neither makes decisions on policy nor acts on its own account. It is an instrument of the President.
The CIA is an incompetent bureaucracy, generally.
We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the US public believes is false.
I couldn't get a job with CIA today. I am not qualified.
If he'd expected to be pampered and coddled through his undercover assignments, he would have gone to work for the CIA.
