I used to wear real fur, but, like many others, I had a change of heart when I learned what actually happens to the animals.
Martha StewartI have set a standard, and I'm going to stick to the standard. I may have been able to grow faster and maybe my business could have been bigger, but because I really feel very serious about my subject, I really want to be hands-on.
Martha StewartBroaden yourself. You don't have to focus when you're 20. I think the broader you are, the better it is. Later you can focus on your real interests and ideas. The ultimate goal is to be an interesting, useful, wholesome person. If you're successful on top of that, then you're way ahead of everybody.
Martha StewartI 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 StewartI'm a maniacal perfectionist. And if I weren't, I wouldn't have this company... I have proven that being a perfectionist can be profitable and admirable when creating content across the board: in television, books, newspapers, radio, videos.
Martha StewartI have a lot of energy. I have a great desire to absorb information. Iโm not a sponge exactly, but I find that something I look at โ just walking around Williamsburg, for example โ is a great opportunity for ideas. Iโve been here before, Iโve seen things before, but now my eye gets keener and keener. So I can pick up little things: just the pattern of a brick walk, or the way theyโve attached a light to a house.
