I can relate to historical characters or imaginary ones. It doesnt matter if a story takes place in the future or in the present, as long as the story is compelling. – Eric Stoltz
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
