My whole life I had seen my father solve every problem he had through the use 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.

My love and anger are in deep conversation these days, teaching and learning from one another. I'm doing my best to stay open to all of it.I’m curious to see what love does with all my anger.

It's always times like these when I think of you and I wonder if you ever think of me.

We have seen in the past where leaders have not been open-minded or have not been flexible. That's why the people came out to the streets and shouted and chanted for more reforms and more freedoms.

There is no such thing as human superiority.

I admire the actors that truly can impersonate someone - become someone, inhabit someone. It's amazing when you see it done.

That which seems to be wealth may in verity be only the gilded index of far reaching ruin

If you're fascinated by America, you'll be fascinated by family.

Boston is the engine of the state's economy.

Maybe [I care about language] because I'm an editor, maybe because I'm picky, but it's all we got, don't shrink it. Don't dumb it out, make it little.

And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires. (from 'The Garden of Love')
