I was always a reluctant actor! I continue to be that. I announce a project, the camera rolls and I'm happy. I'm fortunate to be doing leading parts even now. Except for my mentor K. Balachander, for whom I can do even a walk-on part. When he directed his 100th film, I just walked in to do a small role. I just clowned around on camera.

He is a cool cat. I was surprised when he had a heart problem... People think my film with Mani, 'Nayakan', is my best work. To an extent it's true. But I'd like to think my best is yet to come.

I'm proud of her [Shruti] because she isn't doing a product of our home banner Rajkamal Films. The only thing Rajkamal did for her was to give her a chance to do the background score in 'Unnaipol Oruvan'. It wouldn't matter to me if she failed as a movie actress. But right now it looks like a winning streak.

Balachander is my inspiration. He had a heart problem 40 years back. He has been making films for another 46 years. He can never grow old. My father used to be like that until he suffered a stroke. Then I suddenly realized he was an old man. That's also true of my brothers Chandra Haasan and to an extent Charu Haasan. I can never imagine them being old.

When we talk career, we get into an argument. In Hindi films, she is facing the same problems I did. If a K. Balachander hadn't come along to do 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye' with me in Hindi, I wonder what would've happened to me! I would have suffered much worse because Shruti is far more savvy than me.

Kamal Haasan
I am looking for excellence. Anyone can struggle but they cannot make a 'perfect' film.

Kamal Haasan
With this film I have made more money than any of my other films. It was a high-wire act.
