I think any man who really has faith in himself will be dubbed arrogant, I suppose. I think that's what happened to me. - Frank Lloyd Wright

I think any man who really has faith in himself will be dubbed arrogant, I suppose. I think that's what happened to me. - Frank Lloyd Wright In this video produced by Blank on Blank, Frank Lloyd Wright shares his thoughts on New York City, religious architecture, and being labeled arrogant. The interview was taken from a 1957 episode of The Mike Wallace Interview when Wright was 90 years old. Showing his trademark fieriness even at his advanced age, Wright claims that if he had another 15 years he would be able to change the whole of the United States for the better, dismissing the judgement of those with the audacity to call him arrogant. Watch the animated video above, and read on after the break for some of the interview's most quotable moments.On criticism of his design for the Guggenheim New York: Somebody said the museum out here on Fifth Avenue looked like a washing machine... Well I've heard a lot of that type of reaction and I've always discounted it as worthless. On Nature and Architecture: For 500 years, what we've called architecture has been phony... In the sense that it was not innate. It wasn't organic. It didn't have the character of nature, and I put a capital N on Nature and made it my church.
