Iconic Architect Frank Lloyd Wright Discusses the Difference Between Confidence and Arrogance

In the latest episode of the wonderfully animated lost interview series “Blank on Blank“, iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright spoke about the difference between confidence and arrogance in reference to his design for the new Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The interview took place with legendary reporter Mike Wallace in 1957.

That’s one of my buildings. But I’ve heard a lot of that type of reaction and I’ve always discounted it as worthless and I think it is. I think that any man who really has faith in himself will be dubbed arrogant by his fellows. I think that’s what happened to me.
