Tyra Banks People Quotations

I wish I was harder; I wish I didn't care so much about being the nice girl all the time because a lot of the time people can take kindness for weakness, so I wish I had a little bit more 'oomph' in me.

As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people 'attain beauty,' and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe traditional beauty will be less valuable - and more uniqueness will be heralded.

Just because you don't know if other people are experiencing the same thing as you are, it doesn't mean that it's not happening. Everybody doesn't necessarily share everything. Just know that what you're going through, other people are going through it, too.

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.

People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.

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 think people are way less judgmental about chunky guys.

I'm not in a position to tell heavy people anything.

There's always going to be dreams and goals I have, but I never really tell people what they are

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.

With the whole supermodel thing, even when you're not really modeling anymore, people still call me that. And I'm like '... retired.'

When I announced that I wanted to do a talk show, a lot of people were very skeptical, which, of course, I understand, ... I think I'm very good at stepping outside of myself and seeing what I think other people perceive and they perceive a girl that has modeled half of her life and that's pretty much it.

When it comes to my celebrity interviews, I'm going to do a lot deeper research and ask them things that people haven't asked before, ... I've been on the other side so much, I have a leg up on a person that has only just interviewed people.

I know the pain of somebody who's too thin and the pain of somebody that people say is too big.

I had no idea people were that blatant.

By no means am I against plastic surgery, by no means am I saying that breast implants are a bad thing, but it's just not a choice that I made ... it's something that a lot of people think I have and that is so frustrating to me.

The future is in photos for social media. More and more people are not reading, so I try to attach a photo to most Tweets.

In terms of success and drive, I think some people are born with it, sometimes certain circumstances push you towards success... trying to prove people wrong. I'm not exactly sure where mine comes from, but, I have this thing inside of me that, when someone tells me that I can't do something, I become obsessed with proving them wrong. It's a weird thing.

I don't know what to do with my arms. It just makes me feel weird and I feel like people are looking at me and that makes me nervous.

I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business.
