I know with me, you really have to, like, pound me over the head to say, 'I like you. I really like you' to get me to see it. I think if you're too passive, you just fall into that friend role. And that's hard to break out of.

I think people have come to know me, and I don't deviate too much as an individual. What you see is what you get.

Congresswomen are congresswomen - you are, sorry. And for women who want to be congressmen, there's a screw loose in their head. I'm proud of being a woman. I think 'congresswoman' is the appropriate term, and 'Madame chair' is just fine with me.

How can I know what I think till I see what I say?

There is something to be said about a guy who is attractive and doesn't know it. I hate men who are overconfident.

I just like hanging out, really. I'm not too hard to please.
