    • Tyra Banks: Always act like you're the prettiest girl in the room, even if you don't feel like it at the moment. And when you're going out, make sure all your friends in the group look and feel hot too! You'll be Team Hotness -- and as you walk in, all eyes will be on you.
    • Tyra Banks: (to ET on choosing models on ANTM) I always try to go for different looks, I try to not make girls look like girls from the previous season. We have some really high fashion-looking girls this year.
    • Tyra Banks: (to ET on pushing for plus sized models) I have been pushing to have two plus-sized models on since season six, I got tired of having one girl in that house who didn't have anyone to identify with. I also wanted to be racially diverse so that everyone could look at these girls and identify with them. We finally got these two strong, plus-sized girls this season.
