I have these slumber parties with my father [Steve Tyler], and when we can't sleep we stay up all night trading beauty tips. He knows all about the good creams and masks.

You try to sleep when you can because you might be up all night.

Good night - may you fall asleep in the arms of a dream, so beautiful, you'll cry when you awake.
