More quotes by Tyra Banks
Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today.
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.
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.

Modeling is being a ho, but making it fashion.
Tyra Banks
Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately, I was so homesick I couldn't appreciate its beauty.
Tyra Banks
I actually don't miss modeling and I think the reason why is because of America's Next Top Model.
Tyra Banks
Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.

I loved planning 'The Tyra Show' more than actually having to do it. I loved coming up with show ideas, honing each program and crafting it. I'm more excited being in a meeting than being on TV.

I don't want to have to put on that thing - I call it the thing when I have to do my hair, put on the lashes, get dressed up. When I go out for potato chips, I just want to go out looking like myself, which means you will see bad pictures of me. There probably are some out there right now, but it's just part of the life.
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.
Tyra Banks
When I think about moguls, I think like Donald Trump who... owns NYC practically. That's a mogul. I feel like I'm on my way to a lot more, but mogul is a really serious thing. I think it's a word that gets thrown around easily.
Tyra Banks
Girls of all kinds can be beautiful from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned
Tyra Banks
I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
Tyra Banks
You can have all the potential in world, but unless you have confidence, you have nothing.
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 was backstage in Paris and saw Cindy Crawford doing House Of Style. I thought, I would love to to be in control of my career.
Tyra Banks
I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that? If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there - the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those horrible things.
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
A lot of young girls think that the opposite of fake is rudeness. And just as ugly as fake is, so is saying whatever is on your mind because it's the truth.
Tyra Banks
Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?
