Contexto: America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War.
As quoted in "Master of the Secret World: John le Carré on Deception, Storytelling and American Hubris" by Andrew Ross, in Salon (21 October 1996); also in Conversations with John le Carré (2004) edited by Matthew Joseph Bruccoli and Judith Baughman, p. 141
Contexto: I use the furniture of espionage to amuse the reader, to make the reader listen to me, because most people like to read about intrigue and spies.

I think what gives my works whatever universality they have is that they use the metaphysical secret world to describe some realities of the overt world.
