and Elianna you ask 'What does this say about Boromir?'

I interpretate this as a sign both of his pride and his honesty.
Pride - because despite hearing that the Fellowship must be totally covert, and even after Elronds wise words, he still feels the needs to declare that he is his own man and will act as such, if pushed to it.
Honesty - as the quote itself states, he does not like the secrecy of the Fellowships mandate and would rather an open and uncomplicated quest.
Hope that may be useful Eli, its just the way I see Boromir - an epitomy of the duality of Man.
