Tyra Banks has admitted that she wants to be more than she is now. In an interview with Cynthia McFadden, the anchor of ABC's "Nightline", the reality TV mogul said, "I wish I was more of a diva," when talking about cast changes on "America's Next Top Model". She further explained, "I wish [I] was harder, I wish I didn't care so much about being the nice girl all the time. Because a lot of the time people can take kindness for weakness... so I wish I had a little bit more 'oomph' in me."

Still in the same interview, which was aired on Tuesday, September 8, Tyra was also asked about her love life. However, the former model refused to open up about her current dating partner, claiming "Oprah [Winfrey] told me don't talk about your man unless you want the whole world in your business. I said OK."

While she remained mum on her romance life, Tyra, who is the godmother of Kimora Lee Simmons' three children, shared about her hope to have kids of her own one day. "Sooner than later, definitely," she stated. "I have a lot of success and make a good living, but after a while you start going why?... I need to be able to share it with a family, and go to Toys R Us and buy a lot of toys for my child, you know what I'm saying? Like what is the point?"

Though she admitted that she wants to have children, Tyra believes she doesn't need to get married. "I don't have that 'Oh my god, I gotta get married!' thing. If it happens, it happens, but it's never been like 'Oooo, I need to do that!'" she said, before adding "I think it's because I'm a product of divorce."
