Here's an article talking about the drivers for the celebrities attending this year's Sundance Film Festival. It has a couple of quotes from Aaron who used to be a driver at the festival back in college.

Of course, some of the rich and famous have been behind the wheel of limos at earlier times in their career as well. They include actor Aaron Eckhart and director Neil LaBute, who worked as drivers for the Sundance Film Festival while they were attending Brigham Young University back in the early 1990s.
Both men later made their show business debuts at the 1997 festival, with the darkly comic thriller "In the Company of Men."
Eckhart called the driver experience "valuable fun" and said it was "something to get my foot in the door in the industry."

Aaron Eckhart's Passion (source: WWD.com)
AARON ECKHART’S PASSION: While the celebrity-hosted, for-a-good-cause social event is de rigueur nowadays, Saturday night’s Aaron Eckhart-hosted private viewing of photojournalist James Nachtwey’s latest body of work, “Struggle to Live: The Fight Against TB,” felt decidedly fresh. This was due, in large part, to the images that lined the walls of 401 Projects in the West Village — Nachtwey’s arresting black-and-white photos, taken in 2008 throughout Asia, Africa and India, of people stricken with tuberculosis or AIDS (usually both) and the medics and priests working with them.
But it was also nice to see Eckhart, the Hollywood draw, truly enjoying himself. Indeed, the “Thank You for Smoking” and “The Dark Knight” actor was shuffling around the gallery, clutching an oversize envelope with one hand (the package contained a print of one of the images in the show, a gift from Nachtwey) and old-fashioned networking with the other.
An amateur shutterbug himself, Eckhart said he’d been thinking about taking his hobby to the next level. “I’ve been shooting for a few years now. I do it in between movies and when I’m on movies because I’m in such interesting locations,” he said. “But I’m really into it and I’d kind of like to make it a little deal.” There was clearly nowhere better to put feelers out than this downtown art party. “I got so many hook-ups out of tonight, man,” he said, thumbing through the business cards he’d received over the course of the evening. “I’ve been hooked up with Vogue, I got Rolling Stone…”
As for his shooting style, “I use black-and-white film. I do street photography, I do fashion photography,” Eckhart said as he showed off a few photos of the actress Molly Sims frolicking in water, stored on his BlackBerry. (And there are more of them to come — Eckhart added he shot the visuals for Sims’ jewelry line, which will be featured alongside her pieces at Henri Bendel.)

The first update for 2010! I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year celebration!
2TheAdvocate did an article on Battle: LA including Aaron talking about his time in Louisiana and the film:
Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, Thank You for Smoking) says he loved his time in Baton Rouge, and was able to remain fairly anonymous. “I lived right by the LSU lakes,” he said. “At night, I would sit on my swing and read. I had my favorite coffee shop to go to in the mornings. I went tailgating. I got to know my neighbors. I’m an avid photographer and I shot pictures all up and down River Road. It was great being here, and I loved the people.”
Eckhart plays Sergeant Nantz, a Marine with “a hard ass reputation,” he said. “He has put in his time with the Marines and he’s just about out. Then, the aliens invade. Now, all of a sudden, he’s pulled back in …”
James Dever, retired USMC Sergeant Major, served as military adviser for the film. He guided the cast on everything from how to properly hold a gun to social rules according to rank.
“We had to act like Marines and think like Marines,” Eckhart said. “We showered together, ate together, trained together. To this day, I don’t know their real names,” he said laughing and looking at the group of young Marine actors around him.
(He’s kidding, of course.)

The season for gift-giving, real estate style (Source: WalletPop)
Beverly Hills ex-actor turned real estate agent Curt Truman recalls that he bought actor Aaron Eckhart a Weber BBQ grill as a closing gift when he sold him his house. "He tells me he still uses it everyday. I see him at the meat counter at Bristol Farms on Doheny and Beverly," Truman said.
