Hi Eric and Eliza. These questions are for both of you. I've tried my best to read the other questions submitted, and hope I haven't repeated anything.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT THANK YOU.
1. If you were granted three wishes, what would they be? These wishes would be for you, family, or friends.
OF COURSE TO END CHILD ABUSE AND BRING WORLD PEACE ETC…
BUT WE’D WISH FOR MUTUALLY HAPPY RELATIONSHIPS FOR OUR FAMILY & FRIENDS,
AND FINANCIAL SECURITY AND HEALTH AND PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL SUCCESS…
2. I enjoy reading the credits at the end of a movie. What in the world is a "grip?" I suppose a "key grip" is higher up the chain than a "grip?" (I need to get a life)
HAHAHAHA. GET A LIFE ~ YOU’RE FUNNY.
A GRIP WORKS IN THE CAMERA AND LIGHTING DEPARTMENT,
AND HELPS SET UP LIGHTS, LIGHT STANDS, CABLE…
A KEY IS THE PERSON WHO HEADS UP THE DEPARTMENT…KEY GRIP, KEY MAKEUP ETC.
3. Some DVD's include a special section in which one can view a part of the actual making of the movie. I wonder....how on earth can one stay focused on acting with all the commotion going on?
THERE’S SO MUCH COMMOTION ANYWAY,
THAT THE B-ROLL BEING SHOT FOR THE EPK (ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT) ISN’T THAT MUCH MORE DISTRACTING. A BIT, BUT KIND OF FUN.
For instance, you're hanging on to something for dear life, saying your lines, when at the same time a person is holding a microphone inches above your head, a camera may be rolling down a track a few feet from you, etc.? In watching parts of the making of 3:10 to Yuma, I was astonished to see how close the people, equipment, etc., were to the actors. I'd be so distracted I wouldn't be able to remember my first line! Are you immune to such distractions at this point?
PART OF WHAT GETS YOU FOCUSED IS THE CHALLENGE OF THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF MAKING THE FILM.
4. In my humble opinion, the United States of America has been in wretched condition for years, due to the "leadership" of the man in the Oval Office (no, no, not Mickey Mouse!). If you had the power to effect change in any three areas, what would those changes be?
END THE KILLING. PLEASE.
FIX THE ECONOMY ~ GAS PRICES, HOMES, WAGES
MONEY INTO PROGRAMS THAT HELP EACH AND EVERY PERSON. NO MORE ON WAR.
5. I am terribly phobic when it comes to snakes, spiders, and dentists. I am honestly and truly terrified to the point of hysteria when I come into contact with any of them! Do either of you have a phobia? If so, what is it?
MANY!
ELIZA HAS CLAUSTROPHOBIA, AND OCD (TIDYING UP ALL THE TIME)…
THERE’S A DENTIST THAT CATERS TO PHOBIC PEOPLE.
I’VE FORGOTTEN THEIR WEBSITE, BUT I’M SURE IT CAN BE GOOGLED.
SO SORRY YOU’RE PLAGUED WITH PHOBIAS. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
5. Jeff Foxworthy would probably call me a Redneck. I love NASCAR! And I have all the accoutrements to prove it! I have my favorite driver's jacket, tee shirts, numbered seat cushion, ball caps, and many die cast cars. Are either of you into the sport?
WE LEARNED A LITTLE ABOUT IT FROM A SCRIPT WRITTEN BY LUCA BERCOVICI.
LOOK UP LUCA ON IMDB.COM
COOL STUFF!
Thank you both for taking the time to interact with your fans. Love to both of you from one of your fans in Georgia.

THANKS SO MUCH, GINGER.
THERE’S ACTUALLY A POP-UP BOOK OF PHOBIAS.

NEVER LOSE YOUR HUMOR!

Hello Eric,
this is a bit personal so I will understand if you choose not to answer my question or comment on my statements.
Eric, I have followed your career since King Of the Gypsy's. I don't want to say I know because I really don't. But I think you went through a really tough time after your parents divorced and your mother took the girls leaving you with your father. Then he passed away so suddenly, that it seems like you were all alone at the young age of 17. I hope there were relatives or friends that helped you out. Because that in and of itself is enough to cause one to act out.
THANK YOU.
MY FATHER WAS A MONSTER, AS IT TURNS OUT.
BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE HAD SOMEONE.
Now a days we see what all the tabloids print about Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and the like. I don't know for sure but you were not an a-hole to that extent, where you ?
NOT QUITE, OR IN THE SAME WAY.
BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH NICER!
I purchased your interview and remember you saying, I am paraphrasing here "That the people that you were an a hole to have no reason to forgive you."
I don't believe that, especially your family. I must say even though Julia is a giant star........she is the one who is losing out in this situation. You have done a 360 and all of your fans here think so much of you because of that.
THANK YOU. STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS.
You are an emotionally strong man, very strong. I believe that you are warm, attractive, a great actor an understanding man and a sweetie pie. I don't understand how Julia (and I know you don't like talking about her ) could still be distant especially since she is now a mother herself. I know you have repaired a part of your relationship but is it like a brother and sister ?
I want you to know that not having you in her life is a loss for her. Because she is missing out on a lot. Since you have turned yourself around I think you would make the best big brother any woman could have and ever want.
I am happy that you have Eliza and the kids. I think she keeps you grounded I am very close to my family and I was an a-hole growing up. I am closer now than I was in my younger years.
THAT’S WONDERFUL TO HEAR. KEEP IT UP. TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WISH TO BE TREATED.
I just "love you and Eliza" and I am so happy that you are fulfilled as you stated in your interview. You always speak so kindly of others and I have learned a thing or two from you.
WOW. I’M HONORED.
Not only are you my favorite actor you are one of my favorite people in this world. Eliza, I love you too. You stood by him and now you are both living and loving the life you've made together.
THANK YOU AGAIN.
I apologize if I got too personal. I just love your philosophy, (on your website), your acting ability and every little thing about you and your beautiful wife. May you continue to have love, health, and happiness in your life.
Thank you
GiGi
YOU TOO, GIGI.
LOVE,
ERIC & ELIZA

Dear Eric:
I am a Korean gal from Chicago, and I love your movies. I just saw the movie you made with your wife Eliza and Kelly Preston (Love Is A Gun). I was wondering if you were taking Questions...................
I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE FIND THAT MOVIE!
WE LOVE CHICAGO AS WELL. AND KOREA.
How is it like being a new Uncle to your sister Julia Roberts' two babies (boy & girl twins)?
I’M VERY PROUD.
I am a huge Christian Bale fan...How was it like to work with him in the new Batman movie?
TRULY EXCITING. HE’S A MAJOR TALENT, AND A GREAT DAD. IT WAS FUN WATCHING HIM MELT FOR HIS LITTLE GIRL.
I just saw your movie "It's My Party." Your white horse was sooo beautiful! Can I ask what kind of horse she/he was? Also, do you have any horses currently, and if not, why not?
GLAD YOU FOUND “IT’S MY PARTY” AS WELL.
THAT HORSE WAS SILK. SHE PASSED ON. I LOVED HER SO MUCH.
HER COLT, SAGAN, IS ON HIS WAY TO VIRGINIA TO RUN IN HUGE PASTURES WITH OTHER HORSES HE’S FRIENDS WITH.
THANKS FOR WRITING!
