More quotes by Tyra Banks
You can have all the potential in world, but unless you have confidence, you have nothing.
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
It was really hurtful to me. I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like?
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
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
My nutritionist says, 'If you bite it, write it.' Writing down everything that you put in your mouth really helps. I don’t count a damn calorie. But when I’m really trying to eat healthy, I write everything down. It really holds me accountable and puts me on a healthier path.
Tyra Banks
I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.
Tyra Banks
Flaws are awesome - so, flawsome! I love making up a word.
Tyra Banks
Well, I don't think of myself as a diva. I'm too dorky! Look at my shoes. (Points to the aforementioned sneakers.) I always look like this. I don't always want to be working.
Tyra Banks
I've been singing for six years. I've been in and out of the studios with top producers, but it wasn't something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn't ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right.
Tyra Banks
I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it's okay if there are flaws here and there.
Tyra Banks
Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.
Tyra Banks
I think my magical dream land would have all of my friends from high school and elementary school. I'm extremely nostalgic so my closest friends are people from my childhood.
Tyra Banks
I actually don't miss modeling and I think the reason why is because of America's Next Top Model.
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 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
Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.
Tyra Banks
As a model, you're so used to taking your clothes off that you just don't care.
Tyra Banks
I close my eyes while driving and just sing along. I always open them again in time.
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
