The fire to inspire women and help them to blaze new paths fiercely burns inside of me.
Don't contour with blush - that's so eighties. It was an amazing trend then, but it's not hot now. Instead, go for a neutral contour color that's one or two shades deeper than your skin tone.
Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.
I tend to hang out with my friends in Los Angeles from high school. We know each other from back in the day. They still see me as just dumb Tyra. We have a strong bond.
The president of Victoria's Secret promised me a lifetime supply of Victoria's Secret products, even after I decided to leave the company. But once I left, he only let me have it for a year. So I have a bone to pick.
I'm competitive with myself. I always try to push past my own borders.
I love Boston; it's like Paris.
I would love to do Rihanna's makeup. I love her cupid's bow!
I've had my heart broken one too many times.
I am intimidated by that eyeliner in a pot. You have to take a brush and wet it and then dip it in and get it straight. It's just a mess.
My most difficult class at Harvard Business School would have to be finance.
Tyra the businesswoman is very close to - and I hate third person, but you said it, oh, chiiild, you said it - but me the businessperson and me the person: very similar. I can be in a business meeting and be all 'Wooo!' and 'Oh, child!' and still be talking revenues and profits and cash flows.
I am a businesswoman who goes to work every single day.
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 don't know how to be sexy on a date. Put up a camera and a wind machine, and I'll give you sexy. Put me at a dinner table with some candlelight and the moon shining in and, oh, I will give you dork.
Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today.
One of the big, most underlying messages for me is celebrating beauty that is not typical.
I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ.
I don't wake up with naturally sculpted cheekbones - I paint them on!
I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips.
