An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in lifeābecoming a better person.
Leo Tolstoy
An egotistical person believes themselves to be flawless. This is the principal detriment of self-importance. It hinders a person's central mission in lifeāevolving into a better individual.

Arrogance is a way for a person to cover up shame. After years of arrogance, the arrogant person is so out of touch, she truly doesn't know who she is. This is one of the greatest tragedies of shame cover-ups: not only does the person hide from others, she also hides from herself.

I was trying to be very at ease in this arrogant person, and very worldly, but something human came into the part. I hate to say that. I wanted to be totally worldly.

If I was able to have the game I have and shoot 80% from the line, I'd probably be an arrogant person rather than a humble one. Everything happens for a reason.
