Zitat des Tages von Martha Stewart:
I believe in a man and a woman being equal. I really believe that we can do anything we set our minds to.
I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.
I have a microphone on one ankle and an ankle bracelet on the other, so I'm well balanced today.
I think that people want to know how to do practical and everyday things like how to get the pomegranate seeds out of a pomegranate.
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 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 catnap now and then, but I think while I nap, so it's not a waste of time.
I use the same products on my body as I use on my face. I don't think there's really any difference between the two, so the more moisturizers and serums you use, the better off you are.
When you write a book, you're an expert, and people look at you in a different way.
Whether you're a programmer or a seamstress, it's all about new techniques, simplifying old techniques, and consolidating steps. Making things go faster - but not worse.
Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success.
I have cotton or flannel sheets, depending on the weather. They have to be ironed, and I get my bed changed nearly every day.
The homes I like the best are totally occupied, busy, and useful, whether it's a tiny little house or a great big one. Rarely do you find a great big house that's used in a good way. So I prefer smaller spaces that are full of books, full of things that people are doing.
I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.
I want you to know that I am innocent - and that I will fight to clear my name.
Bloggers create kind of a popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that.
The first book really was kind of an entertaining textbook for the homemaker. I couldn't find a good book about entertaining in 1982, and neither could my friend, so I decided to write it.
I was married for 30 years. Isn't that enough? I've had my share of dirty underwear on the floor.
I'm never sick. Why get sick? It's a waste of time.
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.
When I was a model - and I was all during high school and college - you always wanted to be on the cover of a magazine. That's how your success was judged. The more cover, the better.
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'm a maniacal perfectionist.
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.
All the things I love is what my business is all about.
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 like knowing about everything, and I think that really helps me in my business.
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.
Each generation is smarter than the generation before, and they need total diversion and encouragement and things to think about.
I can keep learning about all the different technologies. It's my most telling characteristic. I'm interested in trying anything new.
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 was a very good cook, and I knew I could build a business.
You should feel good about making your home nicer for your family and your friends. You should feel great about cooking a good dinner and making a dress for a granddaughter, creating a beautiful birthday party. It's all part of life.
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.
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'm kind of a complainer, but not about getting old. I complain about, you know, something that can be fixed.
