We hear much of chivalry of men towards women; but ... it vanishes like dew before the summer sun when one of us comes into competition with the manly sex.

[But Martha Stewart is no Steve Madden.] Teenagers ran into the store and bought a clunky [Steve Madden] shoe but they didn't know who the hell he was, ... For Martha, it's personal and she designed it that way. She was on TV, she was on the ads, and she was on the recipes. She can't escape that and the whole company can't escape that.
