“The few days that I shot with Jayalalithaaji, I got to observe her very closely. I was very impressed by her grace, beauty, and dignity. She came to the sets with her mother. So did I. She remained aloof on the sets and didn't speak much to anyone.”

“Jayalalithaaji was not just a politician: she was the messiah of the masses.”

“I had a cordial relationship with all my heroes - some, like Jeetendra or Shatrughan Sinha, are very funny. Amitabh, on the other hand, was more serious, more professional.”

“I lead a very disciplined life.”

“Age has nothing to do with doing new things. If you have it in you, then you will be able to do it. It's about your will power.”

“Often I sit in the lawn and have my morning cuppa amidst the twittering of rare birds.”

“Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.”

“When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish, the appreciation of beauty is on the increase.”

“There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!”

“The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.”

“As long as I love Beauty I am young.”

“What I want, when I write a poem, is no more than this: that it be preserved in some published form so that, in principle, someone, somewhere, will be able to find it and read it. That is all I need, as a poet, and that is the beauty, the luxury of my position. My lyric is mine and remains mine. Nobody can ruin it.”
