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
Image
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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
Image
What we experience in Colombia is fratricide, we fight ourselves and it demonstrates the priority of hatred over peace and reconciliation.
Juan Pablo Escobar
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

Image
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 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.

I am convinced that we all have the decision to act on a daily basis.

Image
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
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

Image
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.

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.
Juan Pablo Escobar
Image
In reality, my father [Pablo Escobar ] always interrupted others to be with his family. My father's priority was always the family.

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.
