The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.

Girls of all kinds can be beautiful.

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 liked college guys but they could tell I was just a skinny girl.

I would not recommend a teen getting into modeling if they're not solid when it comes to their grades and school. That comes first.

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.

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.
