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

Reflecting back on my childhood, I know it wasn't functional. I was very unconditionally loved and accepted, I felt, by my father.

It's a very different bond, siblings and friends. And I just - I wanted that huge family, just to surround me, be surrounded by.

The majority of people do not accept my choices.

I do believe that children are all blessings from god. And I feel it's all positive, it's positive experience. You know, I don't like to dwell on any of the negative. And - a lot of people do.

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.

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.
