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.

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

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

I invented 'It's a good thing' before you were even born.

I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.

All the things I love is what my business is all about.

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

My new motto is: When you're through changing, you're through.

I was married for 30 years. Isn't that enough? I've had my share of dirty underwear on the floor.

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 catnap now and then, but I think while I nap, so it's not a waste of time.

I'm not a sponge exactly, but I find that something I look at is a great opportunity for ideas.

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.

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.

American Made is not just an event. It's a movement to spotlight and support the next generation of creative entrepreneurs who are turning their passion for making into thriving small businesses.

Bloggers create kind of a popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that.

Doing projects really gives people self-confidence. Nothing is better than taking the pie out of the oven. What it does for you personally, and for your family's idea of you, is something you can't buy.

Drones can be useful tools, and I am all about useful tools. One of my mottos is 'the right tool for the right job.'

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.

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.

Franchesca and Sharkey, my French bulldogs, have their own blog. And they are brilliant at it.

I - I try to do as much as I can, wherever I am. So, at the farm, I'm always thinking of some new project, some new thing I can do.

I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

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.

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 not a rock star or a movie star; I'm a businessperson. I definitely know who my friends are. I'm much more open and trusting than, say, my daughter is.

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.

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.

I believe in a man and a woman being equal. I really believe that we can do anything we set our minds to.

I can keep learning about all the different technologies. It's my most telling characteristic. I'm interested in trying anything new.

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.

I don't think in a male or female way. I don't differentiate between male and female. I never have. I'm not considered a feminist.

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.

I get up really early, and I go to bed really late. Sometimes I get tired, but it's not important. I have an exciting existence, and there's so much to do.

I grew up in a very modest home. We grew a lot of our food in our backyard. We fished; my brothers hunted.

I had a critical father. I'm more like my father. He was a sales rep for pharmaceutical companies.

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.

I have cotton or flannel sheets, depending on the weather. They have to be ironed, and I get my bed changed nearly every day.

I have proven that being a perfectionist can be profitable and admirable when creating content across the board: in television, books, newspapers, radio, videos.

I haven't been to Tasmania. I haven't been to the South Pole, and I haven't been to the North Pole. I want to see the polar bear migration before there are no polar bears. I want to see Glacier National Park before the glacier melts.

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

I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.

I love dessert. I can't be guilty about it because I have to taste everything. I experiment.

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.

I record my radio show, and my staff makes me a nice lunch in the kitchen, usually fish - whatever's freshest and line-caught - and a salad. I drink water and herbal tea, a blend of catnip, elderberry, and horehound.

I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.

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.
