You’ve been open in the past about your struggles with weight, health, and depression. How are you feeling now?

I feel great for a fat, cranky, old, left-leaning Jewish grandmother.

Your blog (roseanneworld.com) posts a link to Parents Against Junk Food. How do you feel about the food industry, and schools that hawk candy and soda to kids?

The public schools are in a shambles of bullyism, and at the mercy of profit-making sociopaths.

You’ve commented on Hollywood’s aversion to aging, yet you have had well-documented plastic surgery. What gives?

Nips and tucks are OK if people feel they want to do that. It comes from feeling insecure though … it’s like a walking ad for “insecure.”

Do you have any vices?

Many. They start with cheese, Godiva …

Do you have a health hero?

Whoever discovered the cacao tree.

If you had to choose one person, past or present, to share a hospital room with during a long recovery, whom would you pick, and why?
