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.

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

I think there are a lot of things in life that are not fair. But life, I believe, isn't always perfect and idealistic.

Are we defined by our choices? Our behavior? Our actions? No. I don't believe that defines our worth.

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

I was looking at myself, and acknowledged that I wasn't in love at all with him [husband]. I was in love with having children.

I'm providing myself to my children. I'm loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally.
