I just want you to be yourself. Be a bigger yourself.

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

Stop saying these negative things about yourself. Look in the mirror and find something about yourself that's positive and celebrate that!

I don't like expensive things... I just can't help looking in a magazine for the splurge and the save.

I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself.

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