“I've worked very hard at understanding myself, learning to be assertiv...” — Pam Dawber Quote

I've worked very hard at understanding myself, learning to be assertive. I'm past the point where I worry about people liking me.

I love to sing more than anything - more than acting, even.

I need to end up with someone who is strong, intelligent, independent, someone I really admire - sensitive, sensuous, warm, a sense of humor.

I was never the girl in high school who had a boyfriend for years. My longest relationship has been 18 months. I've thought maybe I'm really superficial and unable to have a relationship. What I've found is that people are attracted by my independence, and then they try to squelch it.

Of course you don't want to make outs on the bases , but there are times you have to be assertive in order to get other things that you want.

I've always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence - qualities older women possess. They've been on the Earth a little longer. They're more seasoned. They don't play games. They know what they want, and they're not afraid to tell you.
