said, "Arianna, the way you think of me now is utterly ridiculous. When have I ever stooped so low and used dirty methods like this?" "It's not considered dirty. You're a businessman who isn't lacking financially. Half of your life is done and dusted, and the only discontentment you could possibly have is not being able to get what you want.
