Nadya Suleman, the mother who grabbed headlines after she gave birth to octuplets last week, has granted her first interview to NBC News' Ann Curry -- and ET has the details! In the exclusive interview airing on Monday's "Today" show on NBC, Suleman tells Curry she tried getting pregnant for seven years, and then eventually turned to in-vitro fertilization to conceive all 14 of her children using the same donor. As for why she chose to have so many children, Suleman says: "That was always a dream of mine, to have a large family, a huge family, and -- I just longed for certain connections and attachments with another person that I -- I really lacked, I believe, growing up." The mother of 14 went on to say her childhood played a big role in her decision, telling Curry what comforts she lacked as a child: "Feeling of self and identity," Suleman tells Curry. "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. I-- reflecting back on my childhood, I know it wasn't functional. It was pretty-- pretty dysfunctional, and whose isn't?" A sneak peek at Curry's interview will air Friday on "Today," but the complete interview will air on the show Monday. The interview will also run Tuesday on "Dateline" at 10 p.m. on NBC.
