Tone is so important because you can have a great script just be ruined with the wrong director - if they shtick it up or something. With 'Little Miss Sunshine,' I was so concerned they weren't going to play the pageant official realistically because you don't have to wink to play those kinds of characters.

I'm outdoors a lot, so I get dark. Guess who gets stopped? I've been pulled over, and they ask, 'Where are you from?' I say, 'Montana.' They say, 'Are you sure? And I say, 'I'm reasonably sure I'm from Montana, but you know, this is a dream life.' You start on this shtick with them and it's fun.

Bret Stephens

I don't read 'Vanity Fair,' whose millionaire-fashionista-liberal shtick I find repellent.

American Journalist

Obsessing about my image - that's not my shtick.

 fit in with your whole shtick, but I am sorry. I had to do what I had to do. - It takes all kinds. - Five minutes in and we are already off the rails. That really proved something to me and my cooks at work, the people that really hung in there with me. It was, you know, I slept there that night and I opened up the next. All three nights,
