I think the diplomatic-security needs in Iraq were an anomaly. There's never been a bulge of requirements that large ever before.
Quote by -Erik Prince
In Joe Yorio you find a guy who's smarter at business than I am. I'm an entrepreneur and idea guy; he's a professional businessman.
Quote by -Erik Prince
One of the real core competencies of Blackwater, or companies like Blackwater, is we can operate in difficult places without any outside support.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I'm no hero. The world knows all too well about my mistakes. But I was never meant to play the villain.
Quote by -Erik Prince
Unfortunately, I kind of split between Virginia and living in an airplane. I travel a lot.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I think faith gives us a structure around which to try to organize our lives. I'm also a big believer, and very thankful that there's forgiveness.
Quote by -Erik Prince
Blackwater's work with the CIA began when we provided specialized instructors and facilities that the Agency lacked. In the years that followed, the company became a virtual extension of the CIA because we were asked time and again to carry out dangerous missions, which the Agency either could not or would not do in-house.
Quote by -Erik Prince
We have kind of turned our back on the fact that hard work, sacrifice, risk-taking, innovation, is what made America great.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I like the fact that Donald Trump has been in the private sector. I like that he's had to make a payroll. I like that he's had to do projects.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I wish we had been doing diplomatic security in Benghazi. I can tell you that Benghazi would not have happened if Blackwater were on the job there.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I love the U.S. military. I want them to be the most effective and the most cost-effective and I think there is so much spending and so much bloat and so much bureaucracy that it actually hinders them from having a lot of the mission accomplishments that they should.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I loved being a SEAL. I loved working with those kind of guys and a sense of mission, and Blackwater was started to continue that sense of mission.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I'm an American working for America. Anything we do is to support U.S. policy. You know the definition of a mercenary is a professional soldier that works in the pay of a foreign army. I'm an American working for America.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I built Blackwater to stay connected to the SEAL teams and to serve that whole community.
Quote by -Erik Prince
The greatest threat to our freedom and prosperity is not al-Qaida, the Taliban, Iran or even China. It's an idea, the idea that we can spend our way out of our problems without tightening our belt and paring down the very bloated government.

I believe there is significant overreach by the NSA in how it monitors American citizens.

I can relate to ranchers and roughnecks and professional game guides and farmers and homemakers.

If the Chinese are sensitive about anything, it's not having their people die.
Quote by -Erik Prince
You pretty much remove the entire political texture from Blackwater when you come to China. What they look at is our 100 per cent success rate.
Quote by -Erik Prince
China trading with its neighbours and building infrastructure brings only benefits.
Quote by -Erik Prince
I will support vigorously whoever commits to reduce the size of government the most.
Quote by -Erik Prince
America is way too quick to trade freedom for the illusion of security. Whether it's allowing the NSA to go way too far in what it intercepts of our personal data, to our government monitoring of everything domestically and spending way more than we should.

The video game industry is constantly evolving. The sheer creativity matched with cutting-edge technologies gives me the comfort that innovation is alive and well in America.

Video games are an exciting medium. The creativity of design, the technology and the interaction represent the best of American innovation.

I'm a business guy just trying to make - provide great services to the customers that need us.
Quote by -Erik Prince
For people to mischaracterize my time or ownership of Blackwater as being some great financial bonanza, it was not. It was most definitely not.
