Tyra Banks

I wish I was harder; I wish I didn't care so much about being the nice girl all the time because a lot of the time people can take kindness for weakness, so I wish I had a little bit more 'oomph' in me.

Working women, moms, students, they don't have a lot of time to spend on their faces.

I have a big forehead, and I got made fun of all time. When I was a little girl, they used to call me 'five-head.'

I wear my age with pride.

It was hard to get guys to notice me, period, because I was so skinny and all my friends were curvy. Plus, I used to be very nervous in front of guys.

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.

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.

Rihanna told me her parents used to argue so intensely, she used to get these headaches, these migraines that were almost not even treatable with medicine. The moment her parents separated, her migraines went away.

I volunteer a lot of my time with an organization in New York called The Center for Children and Families.

I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.

Let's have fun at work.

I am a businesswoman who goes to work every single day.
