America's Next Top Model quotes

Tyra Banks

[after spending "tea time" with 3 contestants] There's no more carrot cake—so that means it's time to go. [laughs]

[in confessional about her tripping on the conveyor belt runway] I've never felt more embarrassed at one time in my life. I'd rather have natural labor again than do this.

Tyra Mail!

Kayla Ferrel

[reading Tyra's words] "Don't let the competition throw you."

[reading] "Love, Tyra!"

Somebody's gonna throw us.

Guess what? We're about to get thrown out of a helicopter. I'm gonna be acting like, [poses with hand behind her head, smiling] "Aaagh!" [sinking to the floor] all the way down.

Ann Ward

[to camera and in voice-over] My confidence is just really high right now—being able to go from not being sure about myself to getting top photo four times in a row. So, you know, I actually do feel like, uh, I'm a model, and I'm not just the gangly girl that sits in the back of class. So, I really do feel pretty now. So, I'm really happy here.

[looking at a picture he just took of Tyra on a monitor] Who's this girl? I think she's going to win this. She's going to win the Next Top Model.

Tyra Banks

Thank you! [points to photo] I hear she's the bitch in the house. [laughs]

Kayla Ferrel

[to camera, describing photo shoot with Demarchelier] Patrick—I think he's speaking English to me, but I'm not really sure.

[to Tyra, during photo shoot] Sometimes they look at me like I speaks Chinese, eh?

Tyra

[critiquing a good photo of Ann] Ann, walking down the street in person: perhaps one of the most awkward photo shoots, in person, I've ever seen in my life. And then I look at the film, and it's shot after shot like this. I don't get it.

Tyra

[at elimination] Best cumulative photos this week—Ann. [facetiously] Ann, you're making this so not interesting!

[quietly] I'm sorry.

Tyra

Do apologize for being amazing!

[on losing best picture the previous week] I was so upset that I didn't win it, 'cause I was so friggin' close. It just brought me down. And then I said, "Hmm—alcohol!"

Tyra Banks

[to Nigel Barker and other panelists before judging] I never told you this, but the first time I met you in person, and I was like, [mouth agape] "I'm gonna shoot with this fine-ass man?" And I was like, "I'm gonna be naked?" Augh! And he was like, [adopts British accent] "All right, Tyra, stand right there." And I was like, [cradles breasts] "OK, baby!" [laughs] And now he's like, Nigel, my friend.

[in confessional] I got best photo, and she (Ann) got five in a row. I'm the only other girl to get best photo! You know how good that feels? I don't wanna get conceited and big-headed, but...I got best photo! [to Ann] God, Ann, I know how you feel!

Kayla Ferrel

Looking good on the inside starts with feelingggg— [long pause] great on the outside? Hold on. [thinks] Ok, can I start over?

Kayla

[in her "best take" shown at judging] Looking good on the inside starts with feeling good on the outside. With seven ingredients including asabi [phonetic transcription] berry, gorona [phon.], and chron—and— [shrugs] grabana [phon.]. And when you feel beautiful on the outside, you always feel beautiful on the inside. H2T: feel beautiful inside and out.

Nigel Barker

[mocking Kayla's performance] This water has an iguana in it, and Corona in it, and it has some Asahi berries.

[to camera] When I hear "Milan", I think Mulan—like, the movie? So, I'm thinkin' Japan, dragons—you know, I don't even know where my mind was at. But, of course, I always looked at Chelsea, 'cause if Chelsea's freakin' out, it must be something big.
