Yes, of course my father harme...

Yes, of course my father harmed and caused a lot of damage but both stories are true. He did things to help and destroy Colombia, both are true.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I am a free man but only parti...

I am a free man but only partially so relative to other people in society. Why do I say 'partially free'? Because there is only one country in the world that denies me entrance because of who my father was and that is the United States.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I did not begin to talk about ...

I did not begin to talk about peace when my father died nor did I begin to criticize him at that point - I did this when I had him in front of me, I was one of his harshest criticizers and I never applauded his violence.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I think [Pablo Escobar] wasted...

I think [Pablo Escobar] wasted an incredibly opportunity which was when he stayed at the prison he made, La Catedral. It was the one chance that the government and the people of Colombia gave him to confess his illicit activities and to remain in one place with very favorable conditions.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I was talking to my father via...

I was talking to my father via phone from my hotel room when he said 'I will call you right back' before he hung up. 10 minutes pass and the phone rings again. I thought it was him but it was a journalist telling me my father had died.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I can understand how people wo...

I can understand how people would despise my image and my father's persona. My father's image amongst the poorest of people, those forgotten by the state, still remains a respected image. Whether we like it or not, my father was an important figure who filled a vacuum left by the state amongst the lower social classes.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I did not like [Pablo Escobar]...

I did not like [Pablo Escobar] actions because I did not think it was right to have bombs placed in a non-discriminatory fashion throughout the entire country.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

For every stone that [Pablo Es...

For every stone that [Pablo Escobar] threw, he would get many thrown back at him and us, his family, because we were the most vulnerable. In these types of extreme situations, we learned about the consequences of violence and that is why we did not go down the same path.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I am not saying this to serve ...

I am not saying this to serve as a justification for the things [Pablo Escobar] did, but rather to demonstrate the context of his situation and the reason for his actions, for which only he is responsible for. I think it was very difficult for him to try to bring down the very criminal organization that he had created and by the time he wanted to stop, he was unable to.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

Sadly, [Pablo Escobar] ended u...

Sadly, [Pablo Escobar] ended up throwing away the one opportunity he had. I naively thought, as a son and as many other Colombians, that he would take this opportunity to make amends with the country.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I am not allowed to enter Amer...

I am not allowed to enter American territory simply because I was born the son of Pablo Escobar and apparently that implies that I inherit my father's crimes. Not that I want a visa now, I don't care anymore, I have been to the United States before.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

Sure, at that age [of 7] you may have seen movies with guns and crime but by then I also knew something strange was happening in my family because it all changed drastically after the killing of Rodrigo Lara.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

[Pablo Escobar] always told me...

[Pablo Escobar] always told me that the day he used the phone would be his last day, something I had very clear while I was talking to him.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

[Our family] love our father'...

[Our family] love our father's image because the only thing we received from him was love and affection. We recognize that our father made incredible damage outside of the home but we ask for reciprocity because the only thing he ever gave us within the household was love.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

What I criticize is the messag...

What I criticize is the message that the United States is sending to the youth of the world - to those of us who invite people to leave the ways of violence and the drug trade, we are not given a visa but those that sell drugs and weapons, yes.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

Of course, I think this is som...

Of course, I think this is something that Netflix does much better. If you analyze the enormous amounts of effort and attention that has been given to my father's image due to Narcos, I am sure of one thing: if I did the same exact thing that Netflix does with my father's image, I would be killed, do not doubt it for a second.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

It's important to learn from ...

It's important to learn from the past and people's experiences, not only from my father's [Pablo Escobar] as a drug dealer, but from others that have ended just the way he did.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

If I were paying to display im...

If I were paying to display images of my father [like Netflix does] in the United States, I am sure I would face legal sanctions and I would even be killed for doing it. And Netflix receives applause instead of criticism for it.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I think one has to be aware th...

I think one has to be aware that a change needs to be made to improve one's life and then there will always be alternatives and choices that can lead you away from a life of violence.

Pablo Escobar 23 quotes

I knew something was wrong tha...

I knew something was wrong that day, he made the mistakes [Pablo Escobar] had never committed throughout the last 10 years as the most wanted man in the world in one day. He never used the phone, he only did the day he was killed.
