Love every part of yourself. Even the things that frustrate you. They make you who you are!
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 don't like looking at awards everyday because I feel like they can make you lazy. So, I give them to my Mom and let her look at it everyday. They are symbols of the hard work she put into me. Her sacrifices allowed me and my team to win those awards. But I don't look at any awards everyday.

I know this is weird... I am a Black woman and I am not mixed with any Asian blood or Chinese blood at all, but for some reason, as a child, the movie, The Last Emperor, had a serious affect on me. I can't understand why. But there's something that the movie did to me.
Tyra Banks
My fingers used to hurt really bad when I played guitar. I stopped because of it.
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 look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.
Tyra Banks
Most of my career is spent in a meeting... dressed sharply, looking really great negotiating over a table, strategizing or coming up with new marketing plans or new ideas. And that makes me really, really happy.
Tyra Banks
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.
Tyra Banks
I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.
Tyra Banks
A smile is the most important thing you wear.
Tyra Banks
Love me or hate me I promise that it will never make or break me...<3
Tyra Banks
I won't say if I'm single or dating or married or divorced. There's boundaries.
Tyra Banks
I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation.
Tyra Banks
Take responsiblilty for yourself because no one's going to take responsibility for you.
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
Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?
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.

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 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.
