Day Quote by Rosie Jones
“I'm just one person with one experience, so really on 'Question Time' and in my comedy day job I just say: 'Hello, I'm Rosie, I'm disabled, this is my view of the world.' If you agree with that, if you can take similarities with that, great, but I never assume that I'm grand enough to speak for a fifth of the country.”
