"I had been in a film, playing a young British aristocrat. My wife told me that she was invited to a dinner and she invited me to dinner and the hostess had seen me and said, 'You cannot bring him.' but I think that I've done enough to shatter the image"

This quote by Michael York talks to the power of the media and how it can form our understanding of individuals. In this case, the hostess had seen him in a movie playing a young British aristocrat and presumed he was of a certain class. Nevertheless, Michael York believes he has done enough to shatter this image and show that he is more than simply a character in a movie. This quote speaks to the power of representation in the media and how it can shape our understanding of people. It also speaks to the importance of challenging stereotypes and preconceived notions of individuals. Michael York's quote is a suggestion that we must not judge people based upon what we see in the media, however rather be familiar with them for who they really are.
