I think baking cookies is equal to Queen Victoria running an empire. There’s no difference in how seriously you take the job, how seriously you approach your whole life. – Martha Stewart
I don’t think there’s any company that has the same tools as Martha Stewart Living does, and people know that. They really love the tools and, if you have the tools, you can pretty much do the craft. – Martha Stewart
I have a microphone on one ankle and an ankle bracelet on the other, so I’m well balanced today. – Martha Stewart
All I really want is a three-room house. The home I have designed at my new farm in Bedford, New York, is a three-room house: bedroom on top, living room in the middle, and kitchen on the ground. – Martha Stewart
Drones can be useful tools, and I am all about useful tools. One of my mottos is ‘the right tool for the right job.’ – Martha Stewart
There are two kinds of people… There are the dreamers who go and buy, and there are the doers who go and make. And I’ve always recognized that. So the dreamers are what support our company because they will buy the product that they could make if they wanted to, had time to, or were so inclined to. – Martha Stewart
When I first went to Kmart, I was so excited that I could bring my kind of taste to the masses. They didn’t have 100 percent cotton sheets at mass market in 1987. We made those in yellow and pink and pale blue. – Martha Stewart
Every entrepreneur talks about the passion you have for your work, and I think that’s what’s missing with a lot of women in business. – Martha Stewart
I never stop making sure that what I say is the best of what could be said about a particular thing. It’s a constant evolution. If I planted a tree one way yesterday, and somebody tells me of a better way to plant a tree, I think, ‘You know, they’re right, that’s better.’ Then I change my way to accommodate the new way of planting trees. – Martha Stewart
I love dessert. I can’t be guilty about it because I have to taste everything. I experiment. – Martha Stewart
I’m very inspired by nature – you could say Mother Nature. I look at things around me and get all kinds of inspiration daily. – Martha Stewart
I was a very curious person because of my parents. They encouraged me to be as curious about as many things as I wanted. – Martha Stewart
I began raising chickens primarily for their eggs, but over the years, I’ve also grown fond of caring for them and learning about their many different breeds and varieties. – Martha Stewart
I was the second of six kids. I wouldn’t say we were poor; we had no money. That’s different. – Martha Stewart
I adore summer entertaining. For a dinner party at the farm, I might prepare homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, soft-shell crabs, spinach from the garden, and lemon tarts with fraises des bois for dessert. – Martha Stewart
I always thought I would be a teacher. And I think I actually lived up to my initial dreams, because what I do now is teach millions and millions of people many different kinds of things. – Martha Stewart
My daughter emails me. When your daughter starts to email you instead of talk to you… It’s horrible. You cannot forget human communication. – Martha Stewart
I am often asked the question: ‘What is your favorite type of food?’ Although I always answer Japanese, the real response should be and is pierogi, the delectable Polish dumplings that my mother, Big Martha, made so well in many incarnations: potato, sweet cabbage, blueberry, peach, plum, and apricot. – Martha Stewart
Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it’s artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed. – Martha Stewart
I think that the lady who is waiting on me at the local diner, who has kids in school and the mouths to feed, I think she probably has as nice a life as I have. And she only wants to improve her life, her lifestyle. – Martha Stewart
I don’t even like firing people. I don’t think I’ve ever said, ‘You’re fired’ to anybody. – Martha Stewart
A lot of TV people buy more than one of an item, in case they spot or stain it, but I don’t like buying duplicates – it’s wasteful. – Martha Stewart
I had no idea when I went to college what I’d be doing. I took organic chemistry and did terribly, but I was good in English and art. I took many courses and participated in as many activities as I could. I learned a lot about every single thing. – Martha Stewart
Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it’s artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. – Martha Stewart
I don’t have time to have friends come and stay, except on weekends in Maine. I invite a lot of people to come to Maine. – Martha Stewart
