Quotes from Nadya Suleman

Everything I do revolves around my children.

I screwed up my life. I screwed up my kids' lives.

I do not like babies who cry.

I hate babies.

The kids say, 'Oh are we weird somehow?' and I say, 'It's OK to be different.'

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

My biggest challenge is my severely autistic son.

I only had one boyfriend my whole life, and I never loved him.

I've been sued, harassed, abused, but I've held my own.

My calling was to be a mom.

That's exactly what Octomom is: a carnival attraction.

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 just longed for certain connections and attachments with another person that I really lacked, I believe, growing up.

Every single thing I do... is just me surviving.

My mom, we had a relationship. I knew she loved me. I always knew she loved me. But she didn't, openly or overtly, express, you know, affection and love. But I - I knew. I knew she did.

I left 'Octomom.' I went back to my life as a counselor.

Whenever I hear a baby cry, I cringe.

I didn't feel as though, when I was a child, I had much control of my environment. I felt powerless. And that gave me a sense of predictability.

With children, I feel so safe in my predictable world. They will never leave me.

I've got good genes, and my body just always seems to bounce back after my pregnancies.

My back is broken because of the last pregnancy.

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.

When you're pretending to be something you're not, at least for me, you end up falling on your face.

I devote my whole life to my family, and that's the least I could do, because there's only one me and 14 of them. I have to give all my energy and all of me to my kids.
