In a sit-down with Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian and their mom Kris Jenner, the veteran journalist looked back on Kim's initial brush with fame: Her 2007 sex tape with Ray J that stormed the web and made her a household name.

"So, was it a good thing to have done?" Walters asked of the X-rated clip.

"Whatever you do, you might think," Kim, 31, replied, stammering. "I've made mistakes in my life for sure."

Added mom and manager Jenner, 56, of the brouhaha: "It was devastating for the whole family. You cry yourself to sleep for a few nights, then you hire an attorney."

Walters also brought up a frequent complaint about the family and other reality stars: "You don't really act; you don't sing; you don't dance,…You don't have any -- forgive me -- any talent!"

"I think it's more of a challenge for you to go on a reality show, and get people to fall in love with you for being you," Kim mused.

Added Khloe: "None of us think we have talent. none of us think we can sing or act or dance."
