I briefly met Jeff Bezos at a party a few years ago (my uncle is a high ranking corporate lawyer and is an acquaintance of his). I was a little starstruck to say the least, also a little tipsy, as was he. After exchanging obligatory greetings I asked him what gave him the grit and determination to achieve so much, and this was his response:

‘Believe me when I say every last thing I’ve accomplished since I was a young man: founding and growing Amazon, engineering the Kindle and fire stick, buying The Washington Post, learning rocket science, all of it and not a jot less, I did to get my dick sucked. You have to really want your dick sucked to do what I’ve done. Recently however I realised this wasn’t the noblest raison d’être, so I’ve amended it to this: getting my dick sucked in space.’

With this he laughed heartily, gave me a friendly slap on the back, and walked away.
