Nah, I think you just misunderstood. If Steven had even an ounce of Rose's Personality the he would act totally different from how he does.

Controlling his feelings just isn't something she'd do. What those first two quotes are is her way of explaining what's going to happen and why she won't be there for him. She's saying those things so Steven knows that even though she won't physically be there that her love for him will still exist in the form of him loving himself which is her love for him.

"Sometimes I even hear her voice in you". She said that because when Steven speaks about something he cares about he is emotional and extremely caring and compassionate, which is what Rose sounded/acted like. This of course would sound like what Pearl remembers Rose to sound like.

Steven doesn't really say anything that deep in MM. He's smart and thought that doing things a different more Steveney way would help.
