It is great to be a blonde. With low expectations it’s very easy to surprise people.

Anderson’s quip plays on the “dumb blonde” stereotype: if others assume a blonde woman is less intelligent or capable, then any display of competence can seem unexpectedly impressive. The humor depends on irony—she frames prejudice as an advantage—while also exposing how insulting the underlying expectation is. Read biographically, it aligns with Anderson’s public image as a sex symbol who was often underestimated in interviews and popular media; the line turns that experience into a self-protective joke and a critique of shallow cultural judgments. The quote’s bite comes from showing how bias distorts standards of evaluation.
