Julia Roberts talks about what Eat Pray Love meant to her.
 

(MakingOf) So Eat Pray Love, what are the three words that you think of when you think of filming Eat Pray Love?

 

(Julia Roberts) Wow...fulfilling, hot, and joyful.  It was an amazing experience, and I made some great lifelong friends.  I worked with the best actors doing their best work.  I mean it was a very enriching experience.

 

So so much of what happens on set goes unseen to the people who love it the most.  Can you paint a little picture for us of life on set behind the scenes of life on set and even use one scene as an example?

 

(JR) Well I will say that everywhere we went it was like record heat.  So here we are, huge amounts of people, enormous amounts of equipment and it's just unbelievably hot and you're trying to maintain your poise and do your job.  There was a scene actually in Bali with Javier, who doesn't drive, who had to drive quite a bit.  And I actually had to be a passenger in his car and I was worried about that, and then I realized there was a scene we had...we're driving down this beautiful open road in Bali and I'm on my bicycle, and he's in his car, and we pass each other.  And we don't know each other, and it doesn't mean anything.  And so we would pass each other and get to that side of the road and I would get to this side of the road.  I would turn my bicycle around to ride back, and he would drive back, and he was backing up, and he came this close to running me over.  And he goes, 'I'm sorry I turn the wheel this way and it was supposed to go this way...' and he nearly...I had to jump off my bicycle and abandon ship.  He almost killed me.  I forgot all about that until this moment.
