America's Next Top Model Season 1 quotes

I may not be good enough now, but I'll be good enough someday.

You're good enough now.

Toccara

I'm very happy for Yaya, and at the same time, I was getting nervous and scared because you don't see a lot of negroes in high fashion.

[To Amanda] Alright, let's try to walk without tripping this time!

Maybe there's a wall, you know, with nine blocks that spell out "competition."

Tyra

Toccara, I knew from day one that you wanted this and was f-a-b-o.

Toccara

I am fabulous and I want this.

Toccara

I'm proud of myself. I'm the largest girl to get here and I made it this far. Someone has to start to break the barrier, so hopefully the next plus size girl that comes along, she makes it a little bit further. It's gonna take time, it doesn't happen over night. But I'm just grateful that maybe I made a path for someone else.

Tyra

Yaya, it was like you were on this pedestal and this hat smelt like dookie!

Tyra

[to Yaya] Why did you choose the cowboy hat?

[to Tyra] It's more on the simple side compared to the other hats, so I can go crazy with accessories and express myself without being cliché.

Nigel

[to Yaya] Yaya, I think you look beautiful. I think everyone probably pegged you as going for the typical African hat.

[to Yaya] You're I feel... half African, half cowgirl. Looks like you're about to ride a giraffe. I think... I'm not feeling it.

[to Yaya] You have this intensity to prove your, sort of, African-ness. And I think that sometimes it's overbearing. It's just too much, it's sort of a layer on top of a layer.

[to the judges] In response to trying to prove myself as an African, that's just where I come from. It's very natural to me... and [points at the African hat on the judges' panel] I did not chose that hat for the very specific reason that it's very cliché. The fabric that it's made from is very artificial, very cheap fake kente!

Nigel

[to Yaya] Yaya.

[to Nigel] I didn't have the time–I know I'm running on.

Tyra

[to Yaya] There's a different way of explaining yourself and being defensive. And you're being very defensive, and it's not attractive.

[to Tyra] Just because we had a talk about, you know, Afro-centricity before, and it's kind of... misunderstood.

Tyra

[to Yaya] I'm all about, like, expressing yourself and your culture, but it's still done in a fashion way. You want your outfit to be, "Look at me!" and this outfit is, "Look over there!"

I was petrified of this spider.

Janice

Try posing on a live crocodile honey.

Who's the most annoying girl in the group?

Everyone's equally annoying!

Tyra

[To Yaya] Now we need you to eat the product because I've never heard of a girl having a commercial and not tasting the product.

Janice

Eat! Eat! Eat!

The first thing we saw was a hospital bed. Prepare to die? I'm sorry, but I am not a good die-er.

Tyra

[To Yaya] I suggest you go to the nearest bakery in Japan and order up the biggest slice of humble pie.

[About Eva] In your commercial, she was an absolute Tokyo disaster.

Tyra

She was a typhoon!

She was a typhoon, a buffoon, she was a cocoa puff mess.

Amanda

I just look like a pair of ears on an onion.
