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 Im having a bad day, she goes, Just imagine tomorrow. This is going to be over. This is going to be done with.
girl summer mirrors
When I was a young girl, I lost a lot of weight over one summer - involuntarily - and was just really depressed and sad. There was nothing I could do to gain weight. I would look in the mirror and call myself disgusting every day.

Hotness to me is scary. I don't want to be hot. I just want to be a staple. I want to be something that's trusted.

I don't know what to do with my arms. It just makes me feel weird and I feel like people are looking at me and that makes me nervous.

I think it makes women feel better to find fault with other women. I do that, too.

As a model, you're so used to taking your clothes off that you just don't care.
ideas tvs planning
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 didn't have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn't even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn't understand what I did wrong on those job applications.

From offstage until the moment I walk onstage, I constantly tweak my talk show and 'Top Model', but at the same time, I often leave my private life by the wayside.
girl independent fearless
[You] have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman.
smile art thinking
Smiles come naturally to me, but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines, I'd practice in front of the mirror and I'd ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will.
