I don’t think there’s a day that goes by where I go to the supermarket that a woman doesn’t come up and want to give me a hug.

Commerce is abusive. It’s very hobbling to always be saying, ‘Please let me put this out, this thing I’ve worked on for years.’ It’s like a nasty parent saying, ‘No! Now go to your room.’ As publishing companies got bigger, you felt even less significant.
Stop using the word ‘bromance.’ Can we please kill that stupid term? We’re just friends. It’s called friendship!

I don’t really set out to please anybody, and I don’t think I ever have. I have occasionally been encouraged to try to write something specifically for the purpose of releasing it as a single to get radio play. Those are not my best songs, as a rule.
You cannot please everyone, and I think that what’s important, ultimately, is to make sure you please yourself. If you start trying to please other people, you’ll just go around in circles.

I’m in this to be the best fighter in the world, to put on entertaining shows, and to please the fans.

The political classes are despised when they deal in sound bites, embrace tokenistic campaigns and feather their own nests while trying to please all of the people all of the time.
Hollywood, we get it. The Christian faith just doesn’t work for you ‘in the long run.’ However, for a large percentage of this country (the same country that makes your movies millions of dollars), it does. So please, for all of our sakes, keep your ‘beliefs to yourself’ and just ‘stop the hate.’
Even if you don’t like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway.
Over the years, I would go to my agents, my manager, and I would say, ‘Hey, there’s this amazing true story about this gay English mathematician who committed suicide in the 1950s.’ And they would be like, ‘Please don’t ever write that script. That is an unmakeable film.’
Many people on our planet right now despair; they think we’ve reached a point where we’ve discovered most of the things. I’m going tell you right now: Please don’t despair.

Now, all writing – all the arts – are a form of ‘Pay attention to me,’ but there’s also the flip side. Like, I want to give something. Let me entertain you, let me amuse you, let me try to please you with this thing I’ve made. And then pay attention to me.

Art is difficult. It’s not always going to please everyone; it’s not always going to work the way you want it to work.
I refused to be filmed getting off a bus twice. The director said, ‘I’m an award-winning director. Please do it’, and I said, ‘I never thought I’d say this, but I’m an award-winning actress with a bad leg, and if your film depends on seeing me get in and out of a bus, we’re in trouble.’
Will it please you to answer me this and to give me a rule for then I will willingly submit to any truth.
