Although Blake Lively loves Martha Stewart, the actress felt the need to address the lifestyle guru's comment when it came to the "Gossip Girl" star's new website Preserve.
According to Us Weekly, Stewart previously told the Huffington Post, "I mean, it's stupid, she could be an actress!" She continued, "Why would you want to be me if you could be an actress. I just did a movie yesterday, though-I can't even tell you about it-but I want to be Blake Lively."
However, Blake Lively revealed that she believes she can be both an actress and a lifestyle entrepreneur. She explained, "I want to have my own path professionally and even as she said, I'm an actress."
She added, "I'm doing something totally different so now I sort of have two careers going on and it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out. But really what it is, is I have two passions. And I think ultimately, I will always be doing both, but one is going to be paying the bills better than the other."
Ryan Reynolds' wife explained that the website is something that is very near to her heart. She explained, "It was a very natural transition for me," adding, "Everything that Preserve is is everything that I grew up around in a big way.
"My mom is somebody who made everything by hand and anything she didn't make by hand was a discovery and the discovery was often something that was found in a thrift store that was half broken or falling apart.
"Or it was something an artisan only made a few of, but we couldn't afford so we would just go and look at it every day and one day she would just buy it and hide it from my dad."
The blonde beauty revealed that she didn't let too many people know that she was launching Preserve. She confessed, "It's what I know better than acting so being in this space is something I've done my whole life, just not professionally."
Leighton Meester's on screen pal continued, "So now it's something that I get to share with more people. I've been sharing it with friends forever. I didn't even tell most friends that I was doing it because they still get their own curated products and gifts from me. I'm that girl."
Making sure to praise her idol Blake Lively said, "Who doesn't want to be Martha Stewart?"
She continued, "Martha Stewart has been a huge inspiration to me my entire life. She's a huge source of inspiration for my mom. She's how I came to know and love Martha. I always say that Martha Stewart Living is the only magazine I ever had growing up. I never had Tiger Beat or any of that stuff."
