Tyra talks weight and body image below:

Larry King: Are you looking to be Oprah? Is that it?
Tyra Banks: Am I looking to be Oprah? Oh, Lord, if I tried, I would fail.
King: But you’re approaching it — magazines, shows, specials. …
Banks: She is like the — the Godmama, you know? There will never be another. There never has been and never will be another. But looking to be her — no. I mean, I — I started as a model, so there’s a path that’s quite different.
King: The last time you were on you were dealing with the “F” word, meaning fat. You were fighting back. There [was] a non-flattering tabloid photo of you — remember? In the swimsuit?
Banks: Yes.
King: You lost weight since then.
Banks: Yes.
King: Do you still feel an image pressure? Do you think — you think like a fat person?
Banks: I don’t actually. You know, when I — when I told the world to kiss my fat — I can say “ass” right?
King: Yes, you can.
Banks: Yes. When I told the world to kiss my fat ass, I remained that size for two years. I maintained it with my ice cream and my salad with ranch and dressing and croutons and bacon bits. Like I — I didn’t look at myself even on television and think that I was too big or — I don’t know. I didn’t — it didn’t connect. But since I have lost a lot of weight, and it started with the — a weight loss challenge, actually at the top of this year. So I’m two years after “kiss my fat ass.”
King: When you look in the mirror, are you happy with the way you look?
Banks: I’ve — OK, I might be doing a little TMI — do you know what TMI is? Too much information? Video Watch Banks discuss her body image »
King: Well, give it to me anyway.
Banks: I always feel great when I don’t have clothes on. So at home, by myself, walking past …
King: Oh, we’re glad you mean that now.
Banks: Just too much information. But I always feel good that way.
King: So you don’t look at yourself nude and say, “Oh, I don’t like this.” You like it?
Banks: No, unless the lighting is bad in the dressing room. But, no. I always feel good. But sometimes certain clothes, when I put them on and they don’t fit the way that I would like them to, that’s when I tend to get self-conscious.
