There just isn't any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying.

Any writer overwhelmingly honest about pleasing himself is almost sure to please others.

Some people displease with merit, and others' very faults and defects are pleasing.

I suppose my life has always been about pleasing people, making sure they're all right, doing the right thing. Then, suddenly, you have to face up to what you want and be honest about it.

I'm always inspired by people who choose to do what is right, not what is easy.

My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.

I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

I'm passionate about pleasing people.

Creativity is down the tube. And people give a lot of lip service to individuality. I know they all appreciate it, but they all say they would like to do it, but they don't want to work at it, and it doesn't come out of the sky.

You make decisions and you're not going to please everybody all the time.
