More quotes by Tyra Banks
I haven't seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven't seen anything. I don't really care.
Tyra Banks
I feel more comfortable when I'm lighter - I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better.
Tyra Banks
I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.
Tyra Banks
I don't like the label 'plus-size' -- I call it 'fiercely real.' On 'Top Model,' we call it fiercely real. I don't want to use the term 'plus-size,' because, to me, what the hell is that? It just doesn't have a positive connotation to it. I tend to not use it.
Tyra Banks
Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.

I'm not just retiring from the runway, I'm retiring from all modeling. God, I love saying that! When I was 18, my mom said I have to have a plan. I decided I'd leave on top. I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ.
Tyra Banks
I liked college guys but they could tell I was just a skinny girl.
Tyra Banks
I just want you to be yourself. Be a bigger yourself.
Tyra Banks
Smiles come naturally to me, but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines, I'd practice in front of the mirror and I'd ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will.
Tyra Banks
Don't chase the money... chase the passion. Because that's what is going to keep you happy and motivated and jumping out of that bed Monday morning.
Tyra Banks
I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business.
Tyra Banks
People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.
Tyra Banks
Journalists told me that a talk show wouldn't work. Some told me I was going to get canceled before my first season was up.
Tyra Banks
I have so many goals.
Tyra Banks
I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag.
Tyra Banks
I didn't have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn't even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn't understand what I did wrong on those job applications.
