For 10 years, I had a band called Steel Train. We made three albums. We toured like crazy.
On the one hand, you have markets such as Singapore and Thailand, with an extremely strong inbound booker market and a well-developed tourism industry. You also have markets that are just opening up to tourists, like Myanmar, that have massive growth potential and then markets that are extremely fragmented within themselves such as Indonesia.
I like tourists. I think it's nice to live in a town that people come from all over to visit.
They had some really cool rigged cars and things that were different that they would tow behind the camera car that were actually on these trailers that manipulated side to side and stuff like they were getting hit, and actually put the actor right in the middle of the chase.
We had to pose with towels wrapped around us, holding rubber rings, that sort of thing. The turning point came when a photographer asked us to get on a fur rug and crawl like cats. We said no, because it was sexist and disrespectful.
I toyed with the idea of pursuing a career as a lawyer just because I like to argue.
I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.
In 2010, I sold my car, a Toyota Majester, for just a lakh-and-a-half to be able to feed my horses. It continues to be like a hole, where I put all my money.
Though I'm happy with the response to the film, I've been hearing the feedback that 'Yennai Arindhaal' has traces of my earlier films. It was meant to be like that. Since it's part of a trilogy, hence the reference to the other two films in the franchise.
I actually like indoor track and field more than outdoor.
I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.
If you look at my track record, there was nothing on radio that sounded like 'Oh Carolina,' 'Mr Bombastic' when they came out.
I am a shocker. I like to create controversy. It's my trademark.

I love 'Trading Places,' but 'Coming to America' has one of the things I like to do - I like the multiple characters.
The music that I play and that I like is traditional music, maybe it's because of my age.
I don't need a vacation in the traditional sense, like I would if I had a job I hated.
With acting, I felt like I had a lot to prove because I didn't study it; I didn't work my way up in a traditional sense.
I am a showman in the traditional sense, but modern, too. I like to use sets and lighting to create magic.
Little Sparta is a garden in the traditional sense. It is perhaps not like other modern gardens, but I think that other times would have had no difficulty with it.
