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

I've always wanted a big family - not this big!

I was pretending to be a fake, a caricature, which is something I'm not, and I was doing it out of desperation and scarcity so I could provide for my family.

I have 14 children!

I am providing for my children. I am.

I couldn't even fathom the idea of having my own children out in the world and not know them.

Is it fair to have a bunch of kids help solve your emotional issues? Of course not.

I haven't felt my toes on my foot on the right side for many years, and my fingers are numb all the time every day.

I've done things in the media I was not only not proud of, I was ashamed of.

I believe most media is filtered and fake.

Octomom was media-created.

I'm damned if I do what I need to do with the media to support my kids, and I'm damned if I don't. If I don't, I can't take care of them.
