Martha Stewart, in a pre-recorded interview aired Friday night on ABC’s 20/20, was asked by Barbara Walters how she would cope with prison life, including strip searches, if she loses her appeal.

“I could do it,” Stewart said. “I’m a really good camper. I can sleep on the ground. … There are many, many good people who have gone to prison … look at Nelson Mandela.”

He’s famous for saying “I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

She’s famous for saying “It’s a good thing.“
