Hey Eric,
Well I saw Dark Knight, and was impressed by the movie. It wasn't at all what I expected it to be. My first time watching the Batman movie series. I would have loved seeing more of you in it. I enjoyed your part i like seeing the bad guy some times that you play. It was sad knowing that it was Heath Ledger's last movie.
Question:
Did you and Heath ever hang out talk have lunch, he seemed to be a very nice person. What was he like?
IT WASN’T WHAT I EXPECTED EITHER!
THIS WAS MORE LIKE A SCORSESE FILM THAN A MOVIE BASEED ON A COMIC.
HEATH AND I HAD CONVERSATIONS WHILE WAITING FOR SHOTS TO SET UP.
HE WAS EXTREMELY NICE.
Question:
Do you think that you would be in another batman movie? And would you ever consider playing Batman. I think Christian Bale was sexy as Batman, but............I think you would be even sexier as Batman.
THANK YOU. I’D DO ANYTHING IN THE BATMAN SERIES, OR FOR THIS DIRECTOR CHRIS NOLAN.
I found a photo of you and Eliza on wireimage.com you were at a private dinner gala for Barrack Obama. That had to been just awesome to attend.
IT WAS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE EVENTS.
I wish i had listened and gotten to know Barack Obama sooner because when i did it was just like a bolt of lighting that hit me. I was just so impressed and amazed by him, his speeches the way he projects himself. We need him to get our country restored again. It will take a long time but i do believe he will.
THAT’S VERY WELL SAID!
Question:
Do you see Obama getting our country out of this mess. What do you think he needs to do. How did you feel when you first met him and his wife Michelle.
I DO SEE HIM GETTING US OUT OF THIS MESS, BUT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN PERFECTLY OR QUICKLY.
HE NEEDS TO FORM A STRONG TEAM.
Question:
What do you think of this 700 Billion bailout, i understand if you don't answer. I think they did this all wrong, greed playing a big part of it. America is in real bad shape. At least everyone in my family is still working so far, some had to come out of retirement.
IT’S COMMENDABLE THAT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE SUCH A STRONG WORK ETHIC.
I AGREE WITH ALL YOU SAID.
Change is on the way
I pray everyone in America comes out this mess, and President-Elect Obama can get us back our America and our American Dream and harmony.
I hope everything is well with you and your family. A lot of fires in California stay safe
Happy Thankgiving and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family
Take Care Alex

Hi Eric!
1.In newscasts constantly show frightful fires in California. I very worry, did your family, animals and your house suffered in these fires?
And such fires take place at every year. Did you think about that, to transmigrate again to New York? There not so hot and life more safe?
LOS ANGELES IS VERY DRY.
WE ARE ALL FINE, THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
I SHARE YOUR CONCERN FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE AND TREASURES.
2. You never tell in an interviews about your student years in London. I think that this time was very interesting, magic and crazy. I was the student of university (biological faculty). This was simply gorgeous crazy time - time of maturing, time of passions, errors, adventures. It is time of forming of personality, formings of range of interests.
I LOVED STUDYING AT RADA.
I ADORE LONDON.
Tell, you were hippie? Did you poetize? Did you play guitar? piano? Had you much of friends? How did you free time?
What roles did you have in a student theater?
MASS APPEAL WAS ONE OF MY ROLES.
I DO WRITE POETRY AND PLAY A LITTLE GUITAR.
FOR GUITAR GO TO WWW.KEATONSIMONS.COM
I PLAY A TINY BIT OF PIANO.
I HAVE A FEW GOOD FRIENDS.
I want to tell that there always was the very good system of education in the USSR.
I KNOW!
AND THAT IS WONDERFUL.
For example on our biological faculty all students except for the basic biological sciences, necessarily deeply studied physics, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history of religions, pedagogics, foreign language. For me favourite sciences a philosophy, psychology and history of religions, were, except for zoology (my profiling subject). I read much literature which rendered large influence for genesis of my mind and art.
Tell, what sciences you studied in the London academy? What were teachers? What sciences did you have a favourite? Were you engaged in ballet and vocal? What books did render the greatest influence for your internal world?
IN LONDON I ONLY STUDIED DRAMA.
3.. I was in my childhood very sick child with a weak heart, I can not it was go in for sports, and I very suffered from it. But I read the best books, listened the best music and looked all best films, and it formed my strength of mind. I grew as an elemental rebel. And I had conflicts with society, which seemed to me lying, unfair and stupid. I was not understood. Then I began to poetize.
YOU MADE THE VERY BEST OF IT. GOOD FOR YOU. I RESPECT THAT.
I think that you also were rebel. Is it a true?
IT IS TRUE.
4. Once very interesting sleep dreamed me. Dreamed me, that you on a film studio told a young correspondent about that, how you in a childhood (13 years) for a joke or from malice decided to stage the arson of theater. You found a ferrous barrel after the stage, put an old red velvet curtain in it, poured petrol and set fire it. People in a theater were terrible frightened and with screaming jumped out outside. It was very funny, but your dad very got angry!
Say, was in your life such case? If an alike case was, my telepathy means operates!!
THERE WAS A THEATRE WHICH MY FATHER RAN…AND I DID USED TO BE FASCINATED BY FIRE.
5. Very important question. What friends do you respect anymore - which compliment you only and flattery, or which criticize you justly?
Beforehand thank you !
Again sorry for my clumsy English
Your sorrowful lantern Veronica
Then I shall write for you one more letter. Most of all I hate a language barrier - so at us name the phenomenon when the people speaking in different languages, cannot understand each other, in fact in each language there is a specificity of speech turns. For example in Russian the term "Dream" ("Ìå÷òà" read "mechta")when the person imagines desire in reality in ideas and the term "Dream" ("Ñîí" read "saun") when the person sleeps and dreams, is designated by two different words, and in English is one word. I imagine this language barrier as a barrage with a barbed wire and an electric current. But we shall overcome it, the truth? The most complex is to make translation of verses. I am in fact actually very good poet, I am published in the Internet, sometimes I appear on stage, at me it is a lot of admirers. But there such complex images and word-combinations, that in translation into English we see it like a mothly picture, and I simply afraid, that is lost not only a rhyme and rhythmics, but also sense. And I very very much would like, that you have read through these verses. But I once shall try to make accurater translations and I shall send you. If you will want it.
And now some more questions.
1. You long lived in Moscow. What words in Russian Do You know ?
I SPENT ABOUT TWO MONTHS IN MOSCOW.
I KNOW SPACEBA AND MILEYANKIE MILECHEEK AN DA AND NYET
2. In your films often there are sports themes. There types of sporting fight, fencing, navigation, run, mountaneering, riding horse, boxing. In what else kinds of sports You were engaged ?
MARTIAL ARTS
3. In what films you carry out tricks?
4. What of music you preferred when Keaton yet was not the musician?
HAHAHAHA. I ALSO LIKE THE BEATLES.
..... On November, 22nd 2008 is 10 years ago as you have rescueed me are executed - has returned me to itself. I shall always remember it...
Thank you for your tender heart
Ronnie
Hi Eric!
I want to tell you a pleasant thing. When I speak on the stage for a public and read their poems, I imagine how you read these verses, and feel your energy. And my statement is very artistry. The people are usually enthusiastic about my show! I'm in absentia as though acting with you! This is absolutely naturally, because in my poems - is an essence of experiencing of the soul of abstract character, and all characters are different (such as your Perry Smith or Cucaracha). And each I feel such character variously.They are tragic and comical, each its features. You can well understand me in this!
VERY NICE. THANK YOU.
And another questions.
Have you already seen "The Prophet. Mission of fifth angel" finished?
NOT QUITE.
I worry that this film could be named a good , high quality done movie,
that it was interesting to watch. I am very fussy viewer bred for the best world films.
And may I place on this site any photos from the filming of this movie in Moscow?
I will place the best photos - you can believe me.
FEEL FREE TO PLACE THEM.
Thank you!
Hi, Eric!
Because Darya has not yet been sent to you our questions, I still want to talk with you!
I am in my childhood more than all the songs loved "House of the Rising Sun" performed by group "Animals". This melody fascinated me and called in my soul a very strong emotions - sadness, at the same time overcome pain. In eleven , I began to study English at the school, and I think that this song is about the boy from a poor family who went to New Orleans to look for a magic place - the house of the rising sun, but did not find it. And most recently, I heard in a program that the song was written long ago and is not a fantastic sense ...
I ALSO LOVE AND HAVE LOVED THAT SONG.
Every time when I see "In Cold Blood" and listen to how you singing the Perry' s songs , I imagine how you singing my favorite song "House of the Rising Sun" and playing himself on the guitar. In doing so, I know that you are not very good play guitar, but in this movie over plays a professional guitarist. But I love how you singing - the voice flow from the heart!
GOOD POINT.
And Do you want to record the album with a songs by himself? And Keaton to play the guitar in this album?
LOVE TO!
And more questions.
Can you describe your feelings when you ate cocroach in the episode the film "La Cucaracha"?
In one interview about 2 years ago, you said that you are with Rodion Nahapetov write a script about a journalist who left the USA to Russia.
Will Rodion shoot this film with you?
YES.
THE thingyAROACH – SPELLING?- WAS MADE OF JELLY WITH CAKE ICING.
Thank you! I will still write!
Your Lantern Veronica
Hey, Eric!
Did I bother to you by such plenty of letters?
This is only the beginning! (Ha-ha!)
In ex-USSR has many admirers of your talent and we have created your fan club in one of the sites on the film. Here we posting the article about you, interviews, photos. We are writing commentary and reviews for your movies.Our forum has a creative thrust, so most of the material devoted about your work in films. There are nearly all information about your filming in Russia and Ukraine.
This fan club is moderated, I and my friend Welga (Olga). She lives in Tver ( the town in Russia). I met with her on the pages of this fan club, met with her in Moscow and exchanged collection of your films.
Olga - a very good and clever girl, she has long been your faithful fan and also wants to write you a letter but she feeling shy is the fact that she does not know English. Therefore, she asked me to write you and ask her questions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions of Welga
Hey, Eric!
I want that you know that people in Russia remember you and never forget. And all admire you and your own talent!
In 1th, I join Ronnie, I am also very, very interested in knowing more about your studies in England - because I believe that years of study have a great influence in shaping of personality.
In 2th, me just interesting, as taught for actors, and what you studied is specifically.
Maybe you remember any funny incidents, or will tell, what subject in teaching succeeded you the best of all, and what - not succeeded vice versa.
And I want to ask you to tell just about England - what do you think about this country?
LOVED ENGLAND
Do you love it? What England in general terms, how would you describe it?
I have always liked England and I dream to go there, please tell more about it. Is it true that there is the eternal fogs and dampness in London?
I LIKE EXPLORING THE STREETS AND THE UNDERGROUND THERE.
I SAW THE HEATHER, HILLS AND PLAINS.
I LOVE THE THEATRE THERE.
Did you see the famous British heather hills and plains, where (as they say) on a hot summer day, a stunning aromas of a heather? Is it true there beautiful coast? Were there you on lighthouses?
Thank you very much!
Always your loyal fan Welga
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respect you!
Your friend
Hey, Eric!
I know that you have always been a wonderful guy! Do not tell about yourself that you are in your young life was a bad guy! I never believe .
The guy with a rebel character, gentle eyes and fire in the soul - this is not a bad guy.
This is the best guy. We Russian call this kind of person - a guy with the naked nerve, with real creative nature. Just only stupid cowardly people can call you a bad guy.
I ask you only one - please no liquidate in your heart the magic fire that makes you as you are. This light - a divine gift to a few chosen people. I know that. I also have a fire. Ten years ago, this fire in my soul almost out, but you are on time "gave me the
match for the soul! "
If you will also need a match, I will try to give it to you!
If you interested, ask me about everything!
I can be your friend, I understand you.
Thank you for your Tenderheart!
