Tyra Banks quotes from America's Next Top Model

Tyra

[to Mariah, AzMarie, Seymone, Candace, Laura, Eboni and Kyle] Just because I am from America doesn't mean you will be favored.

Tyra

[flips over Ashley's photo] You stay in America, Ashley. [Ashley hugs Jasmia before coming to collect her photo] You're name was called not because your photo was better than Jasmia's. It wasn't.

Tyra

[flips over Seymone's photo last] Personality prevails Seymone. [Seymone hugs Mariah]

Tyra

Louise has decided to leave the competition. On America's Next Top Model, we'd like to think criticism is constructive. Although very tough, it's not for everyone. [to Candace, Eboni, Alisha and Ashley] All four of you are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Tyra

[to Catherine] The Queen is going home.

Tyra

[to Laura and Sophie] America's Next Top Model... Sophie!

Tyra Banks

[on deciding her score for Lenox’s commercial] It is so bad. I want to give you a zero but that’s not possible. So I give you a one.

Janice

You've got a killer smile.

Yes, ma'am.

Janice

You can loosen up, and not be so pagaentry standing in front of us.

Yes, ma'am.

Janice

I don't like when you call me, ma'am. I think it's condescending. Just say, "Okay," you know? You don't have to say "yes", or "no", or "Yes ma'am, no ma'am." 'Cause this is not a pageant.

Tyra

If she wins this contest is she gonna go, "Thank you! Thank you!" [pretends to cry while waving] You need to just pull back a little bit, alright?

Robin, one more thing.

Yes, sir?

You can call me ma'am any time. [Tyra laughs]

Tyra

Robin, you were supposed to have a nude photo shoot. We don't have a photo for you this week. Why is that?

I didn't want to feel uncomfortable. Um... my body is mine. I just didn't think that was what I needed to do in order to get ahead.

Tyra

I don't understand how you can say no to something like that, but then, in the dressing room, when you think no one is looking...I saw you open the dressing room at the couture house, and you were nude, and you shook your chest at Jay...You're shaking your chest, jiggle, shimmy, I saw them go round and round and up and down...

Nigel Barker

[to Jenacia] You, young lady, were late to my shoot.

Janice Dickinson

[to Jenacia] What?!

Nigel Barker

[to Jenacia] You didn’t show up until two hours after.

[to Nigel Barker] It might have been three.

[to Jenacia] You’re wasting other people’s money.

Janice Dickinson

[to Jenacia] 5’7 is a little short to be a model so we have to compensate like punctuality.

Tyra

[to Jenacia] Time is money.

Tyra

[to Jenacia] America’s Next Top… “On Time”… Model! [to Anna] Thank you, Anna.

[to Tyra] Thank you, Tyra.

She's kinda the girl next door, but I think America's Next Top Model has to be like, the girl way over there.

Tyra

Down the street and around the corner!

EX-actly.

This is my signature walk and this is the walk that's gonna make me famous. Actually, I'm here because I got chosen out of six thousand girls, and twelve were chosen for America's Next Top Model.

Tyra

[after the judges watch Camille's clip at judging] I have to do a Janice. [buries her face in her arms]

Janice

Camille, what were you thinking?!

Nigel

Time and time again, we've talked to you about attitude.

Tyra

You know what it looked like to me when you ran off the whole America's Next Top Model? [imitating Camille] "Look, bitch, I was chosen over a million people, so I don't know what your problem is!"

When the go-see process was over, I won the award.

Tyra

Yeah, they said you presented yourself very well, but this was a test of your go-sees, and this was a test of a go-see from Hell.

[to Tyra] I don't compare myself to other people. I'm Eva. I'm no comparison to anyone.

Tyra

[to Eva] About eighty percent of the girls that walk in here have something negative to say about you.

[about Eva during casting week] Eva! She's saying this about me and saying that about me.

Tyra

[to Amanda] You continue to raise your eyebrow. You know, the Zoolander.

Janice

I used to be able to do it, but I have so much botox in my face I can't really do it anymore.
