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.

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.

My sister, my mother and I are great friends. We have always valued our immediate family immensely, something we learned from my father.

[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.

What I criticize is the message that the United States is sending to the youth of the world - to those of us who invite people to leave the ways of violence and the drug trade, we are not given a visa but those that sell drugs and weapons, yes.

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.

Sure, at that age [of 7] you may have seen movies with guns and crime but by then I also knew something strange was happening in my family because it all changed drastically after the killing of Rodrigo Lara.
