Zitat des Tages von Tyra Banks:
It's not like I want to hop on a bandwagon, because I said it 15 years ago - bringing a child into your life who is not genetically yours is one of the most beautiful things you can do. But I'm also interested in having my own baby, too.
My mom was a medical photographer, but on the side, she did a before-and-after glam photography business in the house. She would do makeup and hair - and I was her assistant.
I look up to Walt Disney and what he has done.
My natural hair texture is very kinky.
Kate Upton is curvy and nervy.
I'm competitive with myself. I always try to push past my own borders.
I have so many goals.
It's so important to understand your good attendance ups your chances of graduating.
When I'm coming offstage after my show, I'm thinking about what's on my TiVo.
I don't think me walking away from modeling was scary for me. In hindsight, I think it was very risky, when you talk about risk. Because it paid the bills.
Every woman has... self doubt.
There's always going to be dreams and goals I have, but I never really tell people what they are.
I do look at 'Modelland' as a franchise.
I enjoy doing fashion shows and transforming myself into different looks for photo shoots.
I always had a passion to write as a young girl.
Who would have thought that the girl who was forced to go to the hospital because she's so skinny would one day be called too fat?
Not wearing make-up? I can do it, and don't think twice.
I loved planning 'The Tyra Show' more than actually having to do it. I loved coming up with show ideas, honing each program and crafting it. I'm more excited being in a meeting than being on TV.
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.
I would love for models to be protected by a guild.
Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.
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!'
'Vogue' has the power to make and break - whether it's fashion trends, designers, models, and yes, even industry practices.
There have been top supermodels in the past that weren't as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss.
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.
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.
Being first lady is not just about being the wife but really taking command and having true vision.
I love the confidence that makeup gives me.
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.
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.
I learned my ABCs, 1-2-3 from 'Sesame Street.'
I'm not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them.
Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.
My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.
I tend to hang out with my friends in Los Angeles from high school. We know each other from back in the day. They still see me as just dumb Tyra. We have a strong bond.
Moms, you are the first and most influential role model in your girl's life. Use that power.
