Jade quotes from America's Next Top Model

Long hair! Long hair, baby! [in confessional about Furonda] Furonda is really feeling this hair, now that is a true Miss Diva.

[to her Mother (Diana Cole) on the phone] These girls are horrible, Mom! They're trying to corrupt me, Mom!

[in confessional] I'm not worried about Furonda right now because she did really bad.

[in confessional after winning the challenge] Yes! I redeemed myself!

[in confessional about Gina] She looks so cheesy!

Sometimes I keep wondering why I am landing in the bottom two, but I'm coming back with a vengeance, I'm coming back strong.

[during her interview] I'm an exotic biracial butterfly.

[in confessional] Shooting with an elephant, that reminds me of an ancient dinosaur. 'Cause they are in the dinosaur family.

[in confessional] If it was up to me, I wouldn't have chose to ride in the toot-toot...hoop-hoop...pu-pu...tuk-tuk...hoopty, okay? Because I would have had something with windows, something with doors.

[in confessional about getting eliminated] The regrets would probably be that I think that they made the wrong choice in who they're going to select to be America's Next Top Model. The judges overlooked my ability, and my confidence was definitely mistaken for arrogance. I have what it takes. It's just that my look is in a different realm. People don't know how to handle it. This face will definitely be hard to forget. Jade will be hard to forget...and I just want to leave with some words because that's just what I do.

[to the judges] I am so excited to be here. I've been waiting for this day forever. Forever, okay? My name is Jade, and Tyra, you're such an inspiration to me. The two Jays, amazing. [in confessional] I need a team. Tyra, the two Miss Jays are my team. And they're gonna make me shine. [to the judges] People think I'm a bitch when they first meet me because I'm pretty and I have this beautiful body. But when they get to know me, I'm so cool. I'm very real. [J Alexander nods] Every time I walk down the street, I mean, heads are turning. Like, look at this... ! [in confessional] People know! They know Jade, they know my face! [to the judges] I'm ready to win. I'm ready to be America's Next Top Model, 'cause I know I have what it takes. [in confessional] I cannot wait to be me, and show the world who I am. I'mma blow them away, and they're gonna see who Jade really is.

Jay Manuel

[to Tyra and J Alexander after Jade walks out in her swimsuit] Humility she does not lack!

Tyra

She's so, like, nature girl Afro. Like, Afrocentric beads. She'd be like my sister.

[to the press] I am the undiscovered supermodel.

Janice

[to Jade] Why? What makes you so hot?

[to the press] I feel that I have the most potential. I'm versatile, I'm totally different...

[to Jade] We're all gonna have to take "No" to that.

[to the press] ...I'm... [to Sara] Shut...shut up, up there! Shut up!

Janice

[to Jade] No, "Zip it" is nicer than "Shut up". Zip it.

[in confessional] Being twenty-six, I should have already been a Top Model because I feel like I have so much damn potential!

Tyra

[to Jade at the very first official judging panel] You don't think you're arrogant at all, Jade?

[to Tyra] No. I'm very humble, I'm very down to earth.

Nigel

[to Jade] Well, I was about to say, "humble."

[to Nigel] Yes, I am humble.

Nigel

[to Jade] A part of being humble is being quiet...

[to Nigel] Well, humble inside, I mean.

Nigel

[to Jade] ...and listening...

[to Nigel] Nigel, I mean humble inside.

Nigel

[to Jade] ...and not talking over the judges!

[to Nigel] I'm sorry.

[on the phone to Wendy] ...and we couldn't even get in the kitchen. [Jade knocks on the door]

[looking up to Jade] Yeah?

[to Wendy] Sorry, I need to use the phone. I have not used the phone, like, since I got my haircut. May I please use the phone?

[to Jade] I'm almost done. I had to get up at three o'clock in the morning. When I get off, I will let you know.

[in confessional] I hadn't talked to my family since my makeover, so everything's building up inside me. [to Furonda] I haven't used the phone at all...but everybody else has used the phone. [in confessional] I don't know who I am right now. I'm lost, I need balance. [to Furonda] Yo, I'm tired of struggling. I feel like I am the undiscovered supermodel, you know what I'm saying? I live in New York City, the belly of the beast. I'm tired of this.

[in confessional about herself, Jade and Furonda] I'm in the corner laughing. Furonda's laughing, which is just, like, adding fuel to the fire.

This is ugly and this is what I said in the car, saying that this was gonna get ugly! This is a competition! This is not America's Next Top Best Friend! I wanna be America's Next Top Model because I have everything that it takes to be that. [in confessional] I know I'm a threat. I'm a strong-ass woman, I'm a soldier sister. Recognize.

[in confessional] Maybe she's bipolar, or something? Because the behavior that she displayed was just totally erratic.

I am blonde, I am short! I'm–I'm unbalanced. You're wearing a crown on your head. You look ridiculous!

Well, you're up here in your panties.

Of course I'm in my panties, and I look damn good! Broke-ass crown, they ain't even real diamonds.

[to Jade when finished on the phone] You need to not take your attitude out on other people.

[to Wendy going in to use the phone] Goodbye, J-Lo! Goodbye, J-Lo! [Wendy walks into the bathroom with Joanie, Sara, and Furonda]

Joanie

Dammit, she (Jade) woke me up!

You shouldn't have to bring someone else down to bring yourself high.

Tyra

Twelve lovely girls stand before me but I only have eleven photos in my hands and these photos represent the girls that are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. The first name that I am going to call is... [flips over Brooke's photo] ...Brooke [Brooke comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Danielle's photo] ...Danielle. [Danielle comes to collect her photo, flips over Nnenna's photo] Nnenna. [Nnenna comes to collect her photo, flips over Kari's photo] Joanie. [Kari comes to collect her photo, flips over Furonda's photo] Furonda. [Furonda comes to collect her photo, tells Furonda how far she has come] You were at the bottom of the pack! You're photo last week was ugh! But this, look at how your eyes connect. That's a model. Congratulations. The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Gina's photo] ...Gina. [Gina comes to collect her photo, flips over Mollie Sue's photo] Miss. Mollie Sue. [Mollie Sue comes to collect her photo, makes a name comparison] You know how I love saying your name like that. My name is Tyra Lyn. Congratulations. [flips over Leslie's photo] Leslie. [Leslie comes to collect her photo, flips over Sara's photo] Sara. [Sara comes to collect her photo] Sara you have the judges all confused and just... [Sara laughs] So you have a lot to prove. Congratulations. [Wendy, Joanie and Jade are left standing anxiously in the final three to await the last girl safe from the bottom two before receiving the verdict for the second elimination] The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Joanie's photo] ...Joanie. [Joanie comes to collect her photo] Congratulations, Joanie. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [to Wendy and Jade in the bottom two] Will Jade and Wendy please step forward? Two beautiful interesting women stand before me but I only have one photo in my hands and this photo represents the girl that is still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. I will only call one name and the girl that I do not call must immediately return to the house, pack her belongings and go home. Wendy the judges see a model in person but for two weeks in a row, they have been less than impressed with your photos. So what the judges see right now is a lot of potential. They haven't seen that potential put into a photo. Jade, you are standing right in front of me because you have a lot of excuses, that you don't take responsibility for your actions. So who goes home? [long pause; Tyra flips over Jade's photo] Jade.

Thank you so much.

Tyra

We think the arrogance is actually insecurity but we feel that you have potential if you can show us the real Jade. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Thank you.

[in confessional after getting eliminated] I think I was a little shocked when Tyra delivered the news that I would be going home. [opens the front door to the house] I don't think I was really expecting it. [packing bags] I think my family will be proud of me that I've made it this far. [portfolio is shown] I wouldn't look at it as this is the end for I believe for me and that really likes what they think is all the beginning. [pulls suitcase and leaves]
