"We're not perfect. I don't have all the answers... We're doing our best and learning how we go. We just need to weather this storm, just like all the other storms we've been through." Kate Gosselin 5/7/2009
I don't know that we're in the same place anymore, that we want the same thing. I've been struggling with the question of 'Who is this person?' for a while. I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It's one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there's blaring, red flashing lights." Kate Gosselin 5/13/2009
"You can't imagine yourself in a certain position when all this first happens, but you can do it over some months. It's a lot like when I was first pregnant with the babies, and it was pure shock and denial. But over time I imagined six cribs in my house, and six car seats. When your mind is ready to go there, you can accept any number of scenarios." Kate Gosselin 5/13/2009
"I will never give up hope that every member of our family can be absolutely happy again." Kate Gosselin 5/13/2009

I'd never thought, 'This is totally doing them in.' But now, I understand what they live with: Everywhere you go you're being stalked, you're being followed...it's hell, on the cover of a magazine." Kate Gosselin 5/20/2009
"In the first two and a half years that we were doing the show (Jon & Kate Plus Eight), I felt very ugly towards fans. The gawking, that sort of response creeped me out. I was not willing or ready to accept what you get back when you put your life out there." Kate Gosselin 5/20/2009
"At some point, I turned around and I realized, 'Okay, people are pulling for us, they feel inspired by us, they love us. It clicked: without the fans there is no show, without the show, there is no job." Kate Gosselin 5/20/2009
It's so scary. It's like one of those movies where you have to change your identity and go underground. I've been saying, 'Let's find a country where our show doesn't air, and let's just go there until this all dies.' I have to laugh about this, or else I'll cry. It's a matter of, when will they stop?" Kate Gosselin 5/20/2009
"I don't want them dragged into this. It kills me. I'm far from perfect, but I've started to prioritize what is important, what has to change, what I can live with, and what I have to live with. My children are important. My attitude is important. My marriage is important, and though I don't know where that's going right now, I know I can definitely choose my attitude. And I know that I will never give up, I will not stop, I will not fail my kids. Everything else I can't control, I'm just going to have to learn to live with it." Kate Gosselin 5/20/2009

It's so good to have the warm, loving, kind, caring person that we knew you when you were ... before you got married.' I've changed for her. Because I loved her ... But don't forget who you are. That's what happened to me." Jon Gosselin 9/2009
"I learned about myself. If she's not going to therapy, she's not going to fix herself, then it's not going to work. It takes two people. I have a $22,000 therapy bill. I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go." Jon Gosselin 9/2009

"I saw my kids not growing up normally, like I grew up, and having community. Yes, they got to travel the world, and yes, they got these fabulous things, and yes, they have trust funds, and they're taken care of educationally. Great. But developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people, and they have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what's right and what's wrong. I think more so than someone who grows up off TV." Jon Gosselin 11/4/2013
