I picked Mike because I know his talents as a creative artist.

Ross Vecchio

I know with my talents people expect me to go to a huge school. I know Florida State is a good program, but Morgan State welcomed me more. They came up here and got me.

Lon Pugh

He's got it right. He wants us to play a pressure, puck-control style of game and also take care of our own zone. I think he's going to give the offensive guys the leeway to use their talents, and as a player, that's all you can ask for.

Mike Ricci

I would think that other people could see if you had other talents. I grew and expanded from the Elly May role. I was doing real estate and personal appearances and kept my foot in the door.

Donna Douglas

My ultimate career goal is to just try to find a niche where I can make a living at making people happy, and using the talents I have been blessed with.

Rex Wilcox

All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.

I certainly knew of her talents. But to her credit, she's done such a great job of developing as a player over last four years that it was really hard to imagine that she would get to the level she has.

Kevin Mcguff

We are excited to present the talents of MCG on legendary Steinway instruments. From Chopin to Billy Joel, this concert has something for all types of music lovers.

George Parks

I was born in Brooklyn in 1922. Both my mother and father were Russian Jewish emigrants who came to America in the early 1900's. My father was a tailor and my mother, a housewife.

Jacob is a man of many talents.

Jeff Shroll

He was the best defensive player when they won their two Stanley Cups. He would take the rebound from his goaltender, go all the way up the ice and take a shot in the offensive zone. And he'd come back another 200 feet, make the defensive play again. Great talents can play defense, and he was terrific in that series.

Denis Potvin

Sharon Danosky

These individuals are extremely talented at what they do. This is an opportunity for them to show their skills in front of a large audience. Many times these students are not involved in athletics or other clubs; therefore, this is their opportunity to perform and show off their talents. Also I really like the music.

Mike Breske

We are trying to show a variety of talents. But our focus is more on nature and less on photography.

Randy Baker

He's someone who experiences a certain amount of bafflement about his talents. How did it happen? How did he become who he is?

James Atlas

We are thrilled to have Russell Simmons join our global rhapsody of talents and visions. In addition to being a master musician and a champion of the underdog, Russell is also an important inter-ethnic dialogue maker- a perfect match with the mission of Music Days.

Judea Pearl

Tim has defined the standard for excellence in this field for years, and we're pleased that he's bringing his talents to our team. Together, we'll accelerate our ability to capitalize on the fast-growing market for cost-effective solutions that deliver stronger, more valuable supply management processes.

Mark Morel

I think this is an opportunity for me to use my talents to help the people of Pennsylvania. I think we can be much better than we have been in recent years. I believe Pennsylvania needs leadership from outside the box.

Lynn Swann

Gillian has been a star for distance powerhouse, La Costa Canyon for all four of her prep years. She has been a force in both cross country and track in the San Diego section and has been a regular state meet performer in both sports. We look forward to Gillian making a definite impact on the Bronco top seven early in her career. Her dedication and focus match her talents.

Tom Service

There are tons of great Christian artists who don't have access to the marketing machinery to get their names and music into the right hands. And there are a wealth of venues ? from churches, to coffee houses, Christian colleges, concert promoters, and Christian music festivals ? that are looking for these talents.

Gary Lemaster

Notable talents are not necessarily connected with discretion.

Junius

It was a pleasure collaborating with Bryan Barber and OutKast in 2002, and I knew then that their talents would translate across all creative mediums. I am thrilled we at Mosaic were given the opportunity to work with them again and to help make this project a reality.

Charles Roven

We wanted to work with voice talent that really captured the emotion and drama of the game's story. Quite honestly, we wrote the parts with these individual actors in mind. It's an honor to have them lend their talents to the project.

Todd Howard

It is a very inefficient working economy, in that respect, that the pool of talents is there but the antiquated system refuses to tap into it.

Noriko Hama

After each fashion show, we will also have a fantasy reception in order to showcase the talents of our vendors.

Florence Belcher

The talent's there, but we aren't playing anywhere near out potential.

Bobby Dunn

We want a global player. What we do is search for talents globally for these culture areas then we can provide a global platform of diversity to clients to understand working globally and operating locally.

Kelvin Thompson

I love to showcase our members' talents and accomplishments.

Sally Haulman

[At the time,] they were no longer hot, ... The big music of 1979 was the Bee Gees and ABBA, and these amazing talents were lingering. But where are the Bay City Rollers now?

John Landis

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.

Henry Vandyke

These fellows contacted me to see if I could help. I was envisioning a lot of people wanting to do something to help, but not coordinated to do it. I asked how we can help - how we might be able to coordinate everyone's resources, talents and skills.

Steven Bohus

Our industry is so concerned about this pressing need that we combined our talents, energy and knowledge to host this event.

Fred Stutzman

I can remember, even on up to the job I have now, some fair degree of uncertainty about whether I was the right person or was going to turn out to have the talents that it would take. Not just to be a manager or a CEO, but to be a good one.

David Bondy

Zhang's talents for writing prose became fully developed in his later years, as he devoted all his energy and passion to prose writing after he retired.
