Heidi Montag: 'My ego got too big'

Remember that couple from that ridiculously dramatic reality show The Hills decided to do a whole lot of stupid stuff, and say things that they probably shouldn't have? Well now, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have spoken out and admitted their regrets from their past. In a recnt interview with The Daily Beast, here is what they had to say. "We were living each other's mistakes. Everything we were doing, in retrospect, was a mistake. The second we continued on our quest for fame was a mistake," Pratt, 27, says. "This isn't a business. That was the big thing I didn't get: Reality TV is not a career. Anyone who says, 'Oh, you can have a career in reality' -- that is a lie."

Who says that?!?!?!

"Paris Hilton created fame for nothing. The fact that only 400,000 people tuned into her premiere? We're Paris Hilton fans," Pratt says. "She didn't make all these surgery mistakes. . . she didn't do any of that. But here she is. Her career stopped."

"Obviously I wish I didn't do it," Montag says. "I would go back and not have any surgery. It doesn't help. I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image. I don't regret anything, but if I could go back, I wouldn't do it."

In case you were born yesterday or live in a box, since 2007 Montag underwent over 13 cosmetic procedures to her face and body.

Montag adds, "I thought I was investing in myself and my brand, like Kim Kardashian. When she buys these clothes, she's investing in herself, because she is a big brand and is likable. I thought I had that potential. My ego got too big. To think I could be someone like that when I was the most hated girl ever."

Pratt claims he spent about $1 million on his wardrobe alone. "I would never wear that again," he says. "They're props. Everything we were doing, we were buying props. I bought a big blue monster truck just to drive it on The Hills for an episode. Never drove it again."

Being on The Hills with a semi-script made them question what was real and what was fiction.

"We were all getting paid to be people we weren't for so long that you stop -- there's no line," Pratt says. "The gauge is gone. The gray area is gone. We got so deep with how many storylines we had to do to continue the machine."

"I thought when this was all over, I could get on an interview and say, 'It was all entertainment,'" Pratt continues. "I thought I was the Wizard of Oz, like, I'm the guy behind the curtain."

The reality couple stated that they were "banned from the premieres, banned from the finale parties. And If you're banned from your own show. . .it really gives you this feeling of inadequacy."

Now the couple are living with Pratt's parents for free. "It's like what 70-year-olds do," Pratt says. "We're reading a lot of books."

Adds Montag: "We're watching movies. I do a lot of laundry. A lot of laundry. We're training our dogs, so I'm cleaning up less poop inside, which is great."
