- Who have you pranked?
- I'm not telling everyone. (giggles)
(audience laughs)
We mostly just prank random people and my mom's friends.
- Okay. (audience gasps)
Okay, speaking of mothers and daughters,
writing this book, this beautiful book
that you have put out into the world,
(audience cheers) which feels so perfect
how did you feel about your mom, writing this book?
- It's been extremely emotional.
Just, I talk about things in this book,
that I've never told my closest friends, my family, no one.
So, she read it, and she's just been really sad.
We were talking about it the other day,
and she was just crying, saying,
"I had no idea that what you went through."
And, it just broke her heart.
And, with my mom, we've never been closer.
And, being an adult now, and just seeing,
especially being a mom, just how protective I already am.
And, my parents were lied to,
and they thought that I was being sent
to a normal boarding school,
but these places deceived them,
and that's why I've been using my voice to make change.
And, we've changed laws in eight states so far.
- I mean, that's incredible!
(audience claps)
I heard a story from the book,
which is that Adam Sandler had a movie called "Big Daddy."
Will you tell the story about the sunglasses?
- Well, in the movie, he gives a little boy sunglasses
and tells him whenever he's feeling scared to put them on,
and he'll be invisible.
And, for me, I'm such a shy person,
but when I put on my sunglasses I feel, not invisible,
but more safe, I guess.
- [Drew] Not invisible, but invincible.
- Invincible, yeah. I like that.
- Yeah.
Now, the last time we were together in person,
we were at Britney's wedding.
Wow, what a wild, lovely, beautiful night that was.
(audience cheers)
I mean. - [Paris] Yes.
Did you know this picture was ever gonna become so,
I mean, do you know how many memes,
are on that photo? - Yes.
- We're the last supper. - [Paris] Yes.
We're like, we're every skin cream.
The memes are amazing.
- So amazing.
- Did you ever think that moment would go so crazy viral?
- No, it's so iconic.
(both giggle)
- It really is.
It really is. - And, that was so fun.
I loved it.
Brittany looked so gorgeous.
- Okay.
Your life in pictures, seeing the trajectory,
looking through the looking glass from the past, present,
you know, and into the future, are you proud of who you are?
- Extremely proud.
I feel that I've been through so much in life,
and I just feel, just, really brave, and just,
reading and, like, looking at my book,
and just the life that I've lived, it's just been a lot.
But, I survived.
- Is there anything that you would change?
- I feel that everything in life happens for a reason.
And, I believe that, maybe, God made me go through
what I went through in life, and gave me this special gift.
So, one day I could be the hero I always needed
when I was a little girl.
(audience claps)
- And, you will be, and you'll be, indeed.
And then, you know, you're, like, okay
I didn't get to come to your neon Carnival birthday,
like, and the dinner party,
like, how do I keep partying and having some fun?
Because, you seem to be doing it all.
You're on Capitol Hill, you're a mom, you're writing,
you're an advocate, you're also still slivin'
How do I slive?
- (giggles) Yes.
- Seriously, Paris. How do I slive?
- I'll teach you how to slive.
It's a movement, and a lifestyle. (giggles)
(audience laughs) - I mean, like.
- You are a sliver.
Like, I just feel like it's in your heart.
You're a wildflower, you're a sliver.
- You know, am I crazy?
But, I am convinced that, like, in the disco era,
and even into the eighties, nineties, like,
dancing made us generally happier as a society.
I would love to, like, can't,
Studio 54 is just sitting there empty.
Like, should we go take it over, and like buy it,
(audience cheers) and like turn it back into
- (laughs) Yes!
"Sliving Studio."
- Sliving Studio 54.
I need to dance. All I wanna do is dance.
Let's, like, start a dance movement.
I mean, you do it with your, like, DJing
and you're such a good, that you're on, like, a neon zebra
one minute.
Are you gonna, like,
(audience claps)
how's that gonna work?
If you're, like, on a neon carnival, like DJing,
you know, with your like huge crowds
like it's like Coachella, Ibiza, like whatever.
Is Phoenix coming on your hip, and going with you,
or is he staying home that night?
- He definitely won't be on stage with me for that.
I wanted to be able to travel with him,
but he definitely won't be coming in the club. (giggles)
- It's funny, 'cause I'm, like, you know,
we have to take our kids on our journey,
but I want their journey to be, like, different than mine,
so I'm always trying to find the balance.
I love you so much. - And, I love you.
- Oh, I love you so much! (audience cheers)
Thank you.
