During an earlier interaction with Howard Stern back in 2006 as per IMDB, Martha Stewart briefly talked about the same and revealed that she was planning to invite Hopkins to her house in Maine but she reconsidered after watching his film, The Silence of the Lambs again.

She stated, "Oh, I loved him, but he was... scary. I was going to invite him up to Maine; I have this beautiful home in Maine... but then I reconsidered because I saw that movie again. Do you want someone eating your brain while you are sitting in your beautiful dining room in Maine? I would have probably had a very nice relationship with Anthony Hopkins, but I couldn't get past the Lecter thing."
