“My parents moved to American Samoa when I was three or four years old....” — Eric Stoltz Quote

“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.”

“My perfect day is constantly changing. Right now, it would be to lie around in a hammock reading with a portable phone and a table of food next to it. I would spend all day there. And that's all that I can possibly come up with on the spur of the moment.”

“We had a hoop in our backyard. My dad, my mother, my brother played, just playing around. I picked up a basketball and stayed with it. I had so much fun playing it. I literally started at four, five years old. It didn't have anything to do with my size at that point, just having fun with it.”

“When it comes to the environment in our own backyard, we understand it far better than anybody in Washington D.C.”

“I wanted a house near my family in a quiet neighborhood with a front yard and a backyard that my dog will like.”
