In high school I definitely had a clique of friends. And what I loved about it was that we were healthy and good girls.

I love the confidence that makeup gives me.

I was always a good student. I wasn't the A-plus student, but I studied really hard, and I probably had a 3.2. I always wished that I had the capacity to get straight A's, but I didn't. I didn't beat myself up about it, but I really studied hard for my grades.

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 love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don't overeat.

Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

One thing my mom used to tell me was to look to the other side, and know that my present is not going to be everything. So if I'm having a bad day, she goes, 'Just imagine tomorrow. This is going to be over. This is going to be done with.'
