I love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don't overeat.
I know how to dress for my body to give off illusions, and I like to teach women about it - it's important for women to have that power and that arsenal... tricks that make you feel good when you walk outside.
Flaws are awesome - so, flawsome! I love making up a word.
My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.
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 enjoy doing fashion shows and transforming myself into different looks for photo shoots.
I've always seen modeling as a stepping stone.
Every woman has a story.
I don't go to the cool, trendy restaurants. I go to either the holes in the wall or the super-fancy restaurants where there are no cool people.
I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business. But I was a 34C when I was 17...They stay up when I wear a push-up bra. But if people could see me when I come home and take off my bra, how could they think these are fake?
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 the businesswoman is very close to - and I hate third person, but you said it, oh, chiiild, you said it - but me the businessperson and me the person: very similar. I can be in a business meeting and be all 'Wooo!' and 'Oh, child!' and still be talking revenues and profits and cash flows.
I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.
Beauty's easy. Modeling is not just about being pretty.
The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.
I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips.
I look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.
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.
A smart model is a good model.
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."
I used to love writing in my journal.
I talked about adopting a baby when I was 20 years old, before it became 'hip.'
Love is an excuse to be stupid
I was backstage in Paris and saw Cindy Crawford doing House Of Style. I thought, I would love to to be in control of my career.
I've had my heart broken one too many times.
