My parents moved to American Samoa when I was three or four years old. My dad was principal of a high school there. It was idyllic for a kid. I had a whole island for a backyard. I lived there until I was eight years old and we moved to Santa Barbara. – Eric Stoltz

I have several dogs and several cats who arent really mine. In fact, they think that I am theirs. Id like to have some goats and chickens, but I travel around too much. – Eric Stoltz
I knew that I needed to do something that I desperately loved. There was a period where I did question if it was acting because I knew that I would be making things hard on myself.
