That was always a dream of mine, to have a large family, a huge family.

I'm not living off of any taxpayer money. If I am - if it's food stamps, it's a temporary resource.

What would possess a family where's there's a husband and wife to want 12 kids or 18 kids? That's just what they feel is meaningful to them. Their family. Expanding a family.

The majority of people do not accept my choices.

I don't believe I'm selfish in any way.

I've chosen never to go on welfare. I feel as though it is my responsibility to do what I can to provide for my children.

I have no interest in being famous. I'd love to vanish from the public eye as soon as I can.
