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] 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.

I am surprised that many people disregard the fact that the end for almost all drug dealers ends up being the cemetery or the jail cell, we do not know of any case where a drug dealer has "retired"

I think it's a myth that one cannot leave any organization once you've entered one.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The change the world needs is not in the hand of everyone who is alive. It is in the works of those who deliberately contribute to make it a better place.

Had he already inspired a passion in some stranger’s heart?

If you don’t make your choices, others will give you’re their choice.

Beautiful is sick, so we’re here to smother her back to health.

Everyone thinks I live alone, but I don't. My characters all live with me.

The damned cats like pushing the reset button on my computer.

It is not an individual act, architecture. You have to consider your client. Only out of that can you produce great architecture. You cannot work in the abstract

It's your life and we're all going to be gone one day so just be proud of yourself.

The existing phrasebooks are inadequate. They are well enough as far as they go, but when you fall down and skin your leg they don't tell you what to say.

I want a regular pay cheque.
