Steven Tyler was born on March 26, 1948 in Yonkers, New York, USA. He is an actor and composer, known for Be Cool (2005), Wayne's World 2 (1993) and Epic (2013). He was previously married to Teresa Barrick and Cyrinda Foxe.

What he wants on his gravestone: Here lies Tyler, the Demon of Screamin', who never woke up from the dream he was dreamin', until one day he drank some magic potion, now all that's left is sweet emotion.
Daughter Liv Tyler's mother is former Ford Model and Playboy Playmate Bebe Buell, but up until Liv Tyler was 8 years old, she thought Todd Rundgren was her father.
In 1984, Tyler heard one of Aerosmith's older songs on the radio but didn't recognize it due to a poor memory from years of drug use. He told fellow Aerosmith player Joe Perry that they should perform a cover version for that song, which Perry replied, "It's us, fuckhead.".
Likes to wear a cross around his neck, which holds a small knife inside.
As a teenager, he worked in a bakery to make extra money.

(On why he became sober) "Liv is possibly the biggest reason for me changing the way I lived. She is a dream daughter. When she was very young I wasn't sure whether I was the father but, by the time she was eight, I knew for sure. I saw my features in hers and I cried. I started seeing her a lot and I think her mother had alluded to the fact I was her dad. I just said to her, 'Liv, there's something I want to tell you. I'm your Daddy.' It was one of the most emotional moments of my life and I just stood there crying like a baby while she shouted, 'I knew it, I knew it.' I love her more than anything and have a great relationship with her. We can talk about anything."
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
I don't think anything is forever, but when my kids tell me they love me, that's forever.
[on why Aerosmith called it the 'Global Warming Tour'] When we write a song and people come to see the band perform it, what is it? What is it that people come to? At the end of the day, it's that they warm their asses around our tribal fire.
[on his fondness for animals] I guess there's that certain amount of love that could be missing for a rock star after he comes home from raping and pillaging and dragging his balls across 100 miles of broken glass. Dogs have a lot of love.
