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.

My whole shtick is that I want to contribute to New York's culture via restaurants, nightlife, whatever... but to be more conscious, more aware, more sustainable. It's more than just 'being responsible as a culture.' It's having an ethical chain of production.

American Businessman

Joan Rivers

I've never thought of it consciously... I say exactly what I think, and very often it's totally politically incorrect. I get, always, chastised for it. So it's not shtick. But I think I'm the one who says, 'The emperor has no clothes.

My brothers were funny, and there was a lot of shtick and comedy and nastiness and violence and fighting and sports.

American Actor

I might've been witty, but I didn't have a shtick. So, I never considered myself a comedian.

Bret Stephens

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

American Journalist

Joanna Coles

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

Professionally Casual

Recognizable Acts

Negative Nuance

A shtick can suggest something quirky that makes an individual stand out.

Individuality Hint

A shtick can be a creative or eccentric way someone expresses their personality.

Creative Expression

Unspoken Recognition

 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,

 stole my entire shtick. I was crushed, as if by a trash compactor. I thought to myself, "What now? Where do I turn?"
