kids maybe overly paranoid
I don't know, maybe I'm overly paranoid that they're going to be spoiled, but I want to keep them going as kids for as long as I can. I want to keep them innocent and free.
biggest freaks internal kids posh schooling system
It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.
hardest incredibly kids meet sad
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.
football kids play
More than anything I want to be fit so I don't get out of breath when I play football with the kids.
country growing-up kids
We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.
fall kids balance
I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.
clothes felt proud wrong
I've always felt there was something wrong about making high-priced clothes - and I am really proud of the quality.
afford audience collection designs great love people speak stella wider
This one off collection is a 'best of' Stella McCartney. So many people come up to me and say 'I love your designs but could never afford them'. This collaboration is a great way to speak to a wider audience and let them get to know me and my designs better
When you find the person that you settle down with, I guess you mellow. They are taming you, aren't they? Or you're taming them.
age
There's no excuse for fur in this day and age.
happens incredible people strike
If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance.
car found goes past pollution protect pure
I found that when you have a baby, they are so pure and untouched that a car goes past and you look at all the pollution and you really want to protect them.
lived six
For years, the six of us lived in a two-bedroom house.
Losing my mum. That was a punch-me moment.
