More quotes by Tyra Banks
My mother always told me that came first. I started modeling in 11th grade and it was something that I did after school and on the weekends. School is so important and modeling should be treated as an extracurricular activity as opposed to a career until you graduate high school.

I won't say if I'm single or dating or married or divorced. There's boundaries.
Tyra Banks
I've had my heart broken one too many times.
Tyra Banks

I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.

I was embarrassed when a businessman friend asked, 'What's the yearly budget of your talk show? What's the per-episode budget?' And I looked at him with these blank, typical-model eyes and said, 'I don't know.' I call myself a businesswoman and I don't know that? So that is my goal next year - to really dissect the budget.
Tyra Banks
You can't model for the rest of your life, so it is important to diversify your career.
Tyra Banks
I was always a good student. I wasn't the A-plus student, but I studied really hard, and I probably had a 3.2. I always wished that I had the capacity to get straight A's, but I didn't. I didn't beat myself up about it, but I really studied hard for my grades.
Tyra Banks
I actually don't miss modeling and I think the reason why is because of America's Next Top Model.
Tyra Banks
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.
Tyra Banks
Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.
Tyra Banks
I kind of like the wind in my face. If it wasn’t there, I don’t know if I would push as hard.
Tyra Banks
I used to love writing in my journal.

A smart model is a good model.
