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.

[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.

No one prepares you at 7 years of age to have your father tell you he is a criminal - you are still a kid and you are thinking about playing and having fun, things that have little to do with reality. This forces you to grow and mature before due time.

To be quite honest my country [Colombia] still shows that it can be intolerant.

The pictures I have been sent that display my father in places around the world such as the metro in Barcelona or downtown Los Angeles, I cannot understand the amount of publicity that has been given to my father in addition to the message that is spread because of this.

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.

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