'Mayble [people are] a little bit scared about the whole disability conversation because the spectrum is huge. That can be quite challenging for people...I’m going to be in a Hollywood movie one day, and I’m going to show them how it’s done.”-ruth_madeley
right, with such a feisty character and such an important storyline that wasn’t centered around her disability. You almost forget that she has any type of disability at all. As somebody who has a disability and is a wheelchair user, it was really important for me to be able to portray it the way that I’d want to see it when I was growing up. I’ve had such wonderful feedback from so many people saying, ‘I’ve waited so long to see a character who was just like me on television.
“It really is that easy to do. It’s not rocket science. These people are a reflection of who we are as a society. It makes sense for them all to be seen on TV without it being a thing, really.”Obviously the reception to Rosie is incredible, both from people who have disabilities and those who don’t. Why is it important for us to see actual disability on screen?
“I don’t think we’re at a point where able-bodied people should be playing disabled roles. There is disabled talent out there. I understand there isn’t as, because it’s not been as accessible in the past for people to come into this industry. But there’s only so long you can use this excuse. If you’re going to use an able-bodied person to tell a disabled story, you have to have a damn good reason why, and I can’t think of one damn good reason why.
