"It is great to be a blonde. With low expectations it's very easy to surprise people"
About this Quote
The subtext is about how celebrity women are sorted into roles before they speak. Anderson was routinely treated as a punchline, a body before a person, in a culture that marketed her image aggressively while denying her complexity. Her joke acknowledges that audience bias exists, then converts it into a performance strategy: surprise becomes a form of power. You can hear an actor’s timing in it, but also a worker’s pragmatism. She’s not debating whether the stereotype is fair; she’s noting how to survive it.
What makes it land is its double address. It winks at the people who hold “low expectations” while inviting anyone marginalized by a cartoonish label to recognize the trick: when the world writes your character for you, the quickest rebellion can be exceeding the script.
