"People think I'm strong, but actually I wanted to crawl away. I thought, I'm going to live in the country with my horse and I'll get a nine-to-five; I don't need this"

- Stella McCartney

About this Quote

This quote by Stella McCartney speaks with the concept that strength is frequently viewed as a mask for vulnerability. Despite the perception of strength, McCartney exposes that she has actually felt the need to leave from the pressures of her life. She reveals a desire to retreat to the countryside and take on a more conventional nine-to-five job, recommending that she feels overwhelmed by the needs of her life. This quote speaks with the concept that even those who appear strong can feel the need to escape and take a break from the pressures of life. It is a pointer that strength is not constantly a sign of invincibility, and that even the strongest of us can feel the need to take a step back and charge.
