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.

More quotes by Juan Pablo Escobar
What we experience in Colombia is fratricide, we fight ourselves and it demonstrates the priority of hatred over peace and reconciliation.
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
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.
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
I am convinced that we all have the decision to act on a daily basis.
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
To be quite honest my country [Colombia] still shows that it can be intolerant.
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
Regrettably, to deactivate an entire cartel also proved to be a difficult task for my father and with all the enemies he had, even more.
Juan Pablo Escobar
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.
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
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
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
Clearly, something I am grateful for today is that my father had the strength to recognize and tell me about his activities instead of selling me a fabricated story. I think that helped us build a relationship based on trust.
Juan Pablo Escobar
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
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.
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 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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
Throughout the series [Narcos], I appear younger and younger - I don't know why that is particular to Netflix, to show the evolution of Pablo Escobar's children in that manner.
