More quotes by Tyra Banks
[You] have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman.
Tyra Banks
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
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 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 have so many goals.
Tyra Banks
I don't know what to do with my arms. It just makes me feel weird and I feel like people are looking at me and that makes me nervous.
Tyra Banks
I went from being very popular and the head of the clique in the sixth grade to having, like, kid depression in the seventh grade. Not leaving the house. Not looking people in the eye... My body made me feel bad at everything.
Tyra Banks
When I am full, I stop eating.
Tyra Banks
Modeling is being a ho, but making it fashion.
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
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've had my heart broken one too many times.
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.
Tyra Banks
Girls of all kinds can be beautiful from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned
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
I don't like expensive things... I just can't help looking in a magazine for the splurge and the save.
Tyra Banks
Flaws are awesome - so, flawsome! I love making up a word.
Tyra Banks
Girls of all kinds can be beautiful.
Tyra Banks
Tyra the businesswoman is very close to - and I hate third person, but you said it, oh, chiiild, you said it - but me the businessperson and me the person: very similar. I can be in a business meeting and be all 'Wooo!' and 'Oh, child!' and still be talking revenues and profits and cash flows.
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
