years pants three
I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.
jobs mean two
My male counterpart will get paid ten times more than me -- ten times. Not double, but ten times for the same job. We only have this much left for the female actress. I mean, there’s two genders on this earth. Both are compelling, interesting, diverse, wonderful in all their own separate ways. And yet there’s an influx of male roles, and there's just not for women.
meaningful alive my-one-and-only
This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.

dream teacher school
I ended up dropping out of high school. I'm a high school dropout, which I'm not proud to say, ... I had some teachers that I still think of fondly and were amazing to me. But I had other teachers who said, 'You know what? This dream of yours is a hobby. When are you going to give it up?' I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there
doing-what-you-love what-you-love ifs
You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?
years death-penalty penalties
I'm very glad that [the death penalty] hasn't existed for many years in the U.K.
