The Frenchman replaced Martin O'Neill as Villa boss in September, but has won only three Premier League games to leave his team 14th in the table.
There have also been reports of rows with Richard Dunne and Stephen Ireland, and Houllier also upset Villa fans with his comments following last week's 3-0 defeat at his former club Liverpool.
Houllier left Liverpool in 2004 and, after returning to English football six years later, the 63-year-old does not regret his decision to come back.
"This job (football management) is 80% aggravation, difficulty, problems, every day, every minute," said Houllier.
"The other 20% is great, with all the emotions, but a different world. That is why we do this job.
"It is the love of the game. I am 63 and I'm here. It must be because I like the club, I like the project of the club, I like the players."
Houllier added: "When I won't be able to do it, I'll let you know!
"What is easy in life? Perhaps I was born for that (challenge). I am getting a bit older, so I don't get fired up as much as before.
"But I am still keen to keep on going and to do well. There are no thoughts of me making a mistake returning to Premier League management. No, no, no."
