But there is an afterlife. The legacy, your memory. This, this is Tuesday's afterlife. How you live it is how she lives.

Mm-hmm.

I have a very good life. I'm very happy. Oh, God. I'm so happy, Julia, really. I'm happy to be alive. I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be looking through my window right now. I live very close to a lagoon, and I see the ducks and the geese, and it's fantastic. What do you think the best part about being your age is? That you don't have to please anybody. Oh, yeah.

Only the people you love and the people you care for, but not the world, not everybody else. You don't have to follow anybody's lead. You don't have to follow fashion or nothing. If I try to look good, it's because it pleases me, not because I'm trying to please anybody else. I don't care, really. And that was just like, oh, my God.

I think you have to.
