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

You know, just because you're a blonde type doesn't mean you can't suddenly do serious parts.

I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask, I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts, to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.

I don't want to be the stupid blond. I want to be an actor.

The most famous actress who did the 'dumb blond' routine was Marilyn Monroe, but she was a genius actress.

The best part of being blonde is forgivable momentary lapses of common sense.

I understood something way back when I was on 'Three's Company.' When I got the part, I was flat broke. I was so happy to get the part, but I kept thinking, 'Ugh - dumb blondes are so irritating; how do I make her likable?' I think that I achieved that. It took a while for people to realize I was acting.

I may be a dumb blonde, but I'm not that blonde.

It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things.

You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
