More quotes by Juan Pablo Escobar
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.

I would say, and as I have said before, the series [Narcos] does not demonstrate real happenings but rather events that the screenwriters, in their own taste, believe depict the way we lived.

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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
[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.
Juan 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.
Juan Pablo Escobar

Juan Pablo Escobar
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
It's very difficult to resort to hating [Pablo Escobar] when all he gave you his entire life was love and all the best he ever had.
Juan Pablo Escobar
It's a shame to see drug dealers enter and leave the United States as if nothing in addition to those that purchase weapons and firearms.
Juan Pablo Escobar
I am convinced that we all have the decision to act on a daily basis.
Juan Pablo Escobar
I am a good man and I behave well on an everyday basis. It was not a decision of waking up one day and saying I will be a good person today, problem solved, no, it has to be an everyday thing.
Juan Pablo Escobar
No one prepares you at 7 years of age to have your father tell you he is a criminal - you are still a kid and you are thinking about playing and having fun, things that have little to do with reality. This forces you to grow and mature before due time.
Juan Pablo Escobar

Juan Pablo Escobar
I was perhaps one of the few people that were not part of [Pablo Escobar] group of yes-men because I was not a direct beneficiary of the violence that his actions generated.
