The Today Show presented Part I of NBC correspondent Ann Curry’s interview with Nadya Suleman on Friday. The unemployed divorcee is now the mother of fourteen children after giving birth to the world’s first surviving set of octuplets in California last week.

“All I wanted was children. I wanted to be a mom. That’s all I ever wanted in my life. I love my children,” Nadya told Ann.

“I’m providing myself to my children. I’m loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally. Everything I do. I’ll stop my life for them and be present with them. And hold them. And be with them. And how many parents do that? I’m sure there are many that do, but many don’t. And that’s unfortunate. That is selfish.”

Nadya says he intends to return to college in the fall to complete a master’s degree in counseling. She had worked in a state mental hospital from 1997-2006, but spent much of the past decade on disability after injuring her back in a riot at the facility in 1999.

Nadya has received disability payments from the State of California. She and her children live with her mother, Angela Suleman, in Whittier, California.
