It's good-bye to public life in the way that you try to communicate with an audience playfully, like we're friends, beyond the work you are actually paid for.

The thing is, I live a very public life, and I have to keep things personal, or else I have no personal life. It's very difficult.

To have a public life, you still have the right to a private life.

I'm not an exhibitionist; I don't have a compulsion to share the ins and outs of my daily life with a public audience.

Wherever I go, I'll always see you. You'll always be with me. And there's no happy ending coming here, no way a story that started on a night that's burned into my heart will end the way I wish it could. You're really gone, no last words, and no matter how many letters I write to you, you're never going to reply. You're never going to say good-bye. So I will. Good-bye, Julia. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being you.

I definitely lived my life like I wasn't in the public eye.
