Martha Stewart

“I think it's very important that whatever you're trying to make or sell, or teach has to be basically good. A bad product and you know what? You won't be here in ten years.”

“I have a microphone on one ankle and an ankle bracelet on the other, so I'm well balanced today.”

“I'm never sick. Why get sick? It's a waste of time.”

“The last place I would ever want to go is prison.”

“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.”

“Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success.”

“One of the things I do to stay healthy and fit is to make sure I exercise every single day. Aside from eating right and getting enough sleep, exercise keeps me trim and boosts my energy.”

“I like knowing about everything, and I think that really helps me in my business.”

“I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.”

“I'm very inspired by nature - you could say Mother Nature. I look at things around me and get all kinds of inspiration daily.”

“My parents were able to pay our expenses, but not for education. We were encouraged to work hard in school and get scholarships.”

“It is hard to imagine Andre Le Notre laying out the exquisite landscape designs for Vaux-le-Vicomte, and later the magnificent Chateau de Versailles, with no high hill to stand on, no helicopter to fly in, and no drone to show him the complexities of the terrain. Yet he did, and with extreme precision, accuracy, and high style.”

“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.”

“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.”

“So the pie isn't perfect? Cut it into wedges. Stay in control, and never panic.”

“I want you to know that I am innocent - and that I will fight to clear my name.”

“I was a very good cook, and I knew I could build a business.”

“הבת שלי שולחת לי מייל. כשהבת שלך מתחילה לשלוח לך מייל במקום לדבר איתך... זה נורא. אי אפשר לשכוח תקשורת אנושית.”

“בין אם אתה מתכנת או תופר, הכול עניין של טכניקות חדשות, פישוט טכניקות ישנות ואיחוד שלבים. לגרום לדברים ללכת מהר יותר – אבל לא יותר גרוע.”

“אני חושבת שאנשים רוצים לדעת איך לעשות דברים מעשיים ויומיומיים כמו איך להוציא את גרעיני הרימון מהרימון.”
