More quotes by Tyra Banks
I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself.
Tyra Banks
I've helped some of my classmates on how to strategize to get to the next level of their businesses. And it's interesting, because here I am sitting there from the entertainment industry and the fashion industry, and I'm giving a billionaire that has a business that's been in his family for 300 years - I'm giving him advice about strategy!
Tyra Banks
Because my hands are rough and wrinkley, they are my least favourite feature. An ex-boyfriend used to call them 'Freddy Kreuger' fingers.
Tyra Banks
I've had my heart broken one too many times.
Tyra Banks
You can have all the potential in world, but unless you have confidence, you have nothing.
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
Take responsiblilty for yourself because no one's going to take responsibility for you.
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.
Tyra Banks
When I was a young girl, I lost a lot of weight over one summer - involuntarily - and was just really depressed and sad. There was nothing I could do to gain weight. I would look in the mirror and call myself disgusting every day.
Tyra Banks
In high school I definitely had a clique of friends. And what I loved about it was that we were healthy and good girls.
Tyra Banks
I close my eyes while driving and just sing along. I always open them again in time.
Tyra Banks
When I am full, I stop eating.
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
It was hard to get guys to notice me, period, because I was so skinny and all my friends were curvy. Plus, I used to be very nervous in front of guys.
Tyra Banks
I try to keep my private life kind of private.
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
Flaws are awesome - so, flawsome! I love making up a word.
Tyra Banks
Don't make excuses - make improvements!
Tyra Banks
I think one of the biggest things that affects young women is when they hear their mothers using fat talk.
Tyra Banks
My aunt used to call me light bulb head because my head is small at the bottom and bigger at the top. But it was a term of endearment.
