I would agree that everyone can be hypnotised if they agree to it. You don't have to be 'suggestible' and for certain you have already experienced the hypnotised state thousands of times in the course of everyday living - most particularly when falling asleep and waking up. Racing car drivers usually enter the state as it can be associated with heightened performance when everything else is excluded.
The illusion of needing to be suggestible comes from stage hypnosis where the hypnotist uses various methods to choose people from the audience who wish to basically make fools of themselves! The state of hypnosis is quite natural and beneficial and, generally speaking under normal circumstances, nobody can be forced to do something against their nature. I used to be a professional clinical hypnotist...
I should also point out that you are fully aware and remember everything unless you are instructed not to!
