More quotes by 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.
Tyra Banks
I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.
Tyra Banks
You've got to learn to accept the fool in you as well as the part that's got it goin' on.
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
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
I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
Tyra Banks
Once you plant seeds of success, your tree will bear fierce fruit.
Tyra Banks
I just want you to be yourself. Be a bigger yourself.
Tyra Banks
I don't like the label 'plus-size' -- I call it 'fiercely real.' On 'Top Model,' we call it fiercely real. I don't want to use the term 'plus-size,' because, to me, what the hell is that? It just doesn't have a positive connotation to it. I tend to not use it.
Tyra Banks
Hotness to me is scary. I don't want to be hot. I just want to be a staple. I want to be something that's trusted.
Tyra Banks
You can't model for the rest of your life, so it is important to diversify your career.
Tyra Banks
Every woman has a story.
Tyra Banks
When I am full, I stop eating.
Tyra Banks
Girls of all kinds can be beautiful.
Tyra Banks
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
Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today.
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
I love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don't overeat.
Tyra Banks
Don't make excuses - make improvements!
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.
