Don't save bold lashes and red lips for nighttime - do it in the day!
— Tyra Banks
If you can think psychographically and not demographically, you can really target a lot more audiences.
When I went to Paris after graduating high school, I saw a model who was 12 years old without any supervision. That wouldn't happen in the acting world.
I love Boston; it's like Paris.
I think of dystopian as 'Mad Max,' as 'Book of Eli,' as the world is ending.
I am a businesswoman who goes to work every single day.
I went to school for me - I didn't do it to make any sort of statement. So the very first year I was in school, I wasn't there under my own name. It was very incognito.
'Vogue' has the power to make and break - whether it's fashion trends, designers, models, and yes, even industry practices.
I don't think cellulite is great - that's not a flaw that I want in a photo by any means! I retouch that crap out. But I tell women that I'm retouching it out.
Global warming will threaten our crops, so natural food will be scarce. Hourglass, curvy bodies will be the aspirational beauty standard, representing that those women have access to bounties of fulfilling yet healthy food, which means they are affluent.
I learned my ABCs, 1-2-3 from 'Sesame Street.'
I always had a passion to write as a young girl.
Screw being a singer! I wanna be the voice of my generation with my talk show.
I look up to Walt Disney and what he has done.
I'm frugal. I've always been this way. When I was young, my mom would give me my allowance, and I'd peel off a little each week and have some to spare.
Us brown-skinned girls get ashy if we don't moisturize.
A while ago I said that, 'You know, I like a guy - he doesn't have to be all rich and famous - he can be normal.' And I remember I was walking in the mall, and this guy was like, 'Tyra, I'm normal. I live with my mama. I ain't got a car and I ain't got a job! I'm real normal.' And I'm like, 'That's not normal - that's a loser!'
Let's have fun at work.
I've made mistakes before of doing different projects just based on my dreams, my hopes, my thing, and not really thinking about my customers.
I'm a lover of fashion websites.
I am protective of my own personal life, but I must confess that I enjoy watching people that don't mind telling it all.
I know I'm an overachiever, and I'm not apologetic about it.
I am learning how to delegate and how to empower people.
With the whole supermodel thing, even when you're not really modeling anymore, people still call me that. And I'm like '... retired.'
I ain't no cougar.
I don't believe in diets.
Kate Upton is curvy and nervy.
I love daytime television.
I do look at 'Modelland' as a franchise.
My most difficult class at Harvard Business School would have to be finance.
'Modelland' has always been a part of my mind and my heart. I'm excited that you'll be able to read about this magical world that's been living in my dreams for so many years.
I grew up wearing a uniform to school, and now I have my stylist come to my apartment and create outfits for me to wear. Otherwise, I'd never get dressed.
I have a poverty demon. I'll ask my accountant if I can afford something, and he'll say, 'What are you talking about?'
I think people are way less judgmental about chunky guys.
Sephora is fantastic. I go in there. I get lost. There are so many great things in there.
I really want to leave something behind that means something when I'm no longer here.
I'm not in a position to tell heavy people anything.
I love Roald Dahl.
I have a big forehead, and I got made fun of all time. When I was a little girl, they used to call me 'five-head.'
I'm very comfortable speaking to millions of people, but not comfortable in a small, intimate social setting. Like cocktail hour. I get very panicky.
Sometimes you gotta leave when you're on top.
I did an episode on my talk show on cellulite, and I brought seven women into a dressing room at Nordstrom's in L.A., and we all sat and talked about our cellulite.
Because beauty will be so readily accessible, and skin color and features will be similar, prejudices based on physical features will be nearly eradicated. Prejudice will be socioeconomically based.
Homelessness is an issue close to my heart.
Every woman has... self doubt.
Rihanna told me her parents used to argue so intensely, she used to get these headaches, these migraines that were almost not even treatable with medicine. The moment her parents separated, her migraines went away.
If I tried to start modeling right now, I wouldn't be a supermodel because it's all about celebrity.
The fire to inspire women and help them to blaze new paths fiercely burns inside of me.
When I'm coming offstage after my show, I'm thinking about what's on my TiVo.
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?
