As my mom wiped the tears from my face, she said, 'Tyra, you know what we’re going to do about this? We’re going to go eat pizza.' We sat in a tiny pizzeria in Milan and strategized about how to turn my curves into a curveball. In a way, it was my decision not to starve myself that turned me into a supermodel, and later on, a businesswoman.

I've always seen modeling as a stepping stone.

I think a lot of business students chase money and then they burn out. They have early retirements, not because they want to retire and chill... But because they hate their job and they are miserable. I don't chase money.

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 actually don't miss modeling and I think the reason why is because of America's Next Top Model.

I think I'm too young to be a mogul. I think I'm too young for that.

Use romantic relationships to grow, not to lose yourself. Keep your priorities in order.
