Unfortunately, on my father's side we have a nonexistent relationship. But my mother and sister and I live very closely, we remain in the same city and we see each other every day.

[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.

So that the smile was not so much an attitude to be taken to life as the nature of the cruelty of life, a cruelty we cannot even choose to avoid, since it is human existence.

I hope to continue my friendship with France and its filmmakers for many years to come.

There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass

Franchises aren't to be avoided. They can be exciting, and they give you opportunities to do other films.

There is no force in the universe more powerful than your will or power.

There is nothing that God has judged good for us that He has not given us the means to accomplish, both in the natural and the moral world.

That's what I realized: if I did get her back somehow, she wouldn't fill the hole that losing her created.

Teaching is really a natural extension of one's practice--one wants to share something that's so influential and beautiful in one's life.

If we think about things having multiple lives, cradle to cradle, we could design things that can go back to either nature or back to industry forever.
