More quotes by Tyra Banks
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.

[You] have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman.
Tyra Banks
I close my eyes while driving and just sing along. I always open them again in time.
Tyra Banks
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.

Love is an excuse to be stupid

I hate when models say 'Oh, plastic surgery is just a wrong thing. What are you talking about? You won the genetic lottery. You look like this specimen that's making people everywhere feel insecure and you're going to ridicule someone for getting plastic surgery?
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
I haven't seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven't seen anything. I don't really care.
Tyra Banks
Stop saying these negative things about yourself. Look in the mirror and find something about yourself that's positive and celebrate that!
Tyra Banks
I try to keep my private life kind of private.

As my mom wiped the tears from my face, she said, 'Tyra, you know what we’re going to do about this? We’re going to go eat pizza.' We sat in a tiny pizzeria in Milan and strategized about how to turn my curves into a curveball. In a way, it was my decision not to starve myself that turned me into a supermodel, and later on, a businesswoman.
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've had my heart broken one too many times.
Tyra Banks
I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
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
Never dull your shine for somebody else.
Tyra Banks
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.
Tyra Banks
My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.
Tyra Banks
You can't model for the rest of your life, so it is important to diversify your career.
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.
