"I'm very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I'm less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they're not real people."

This actress' roles and works contain examples of:
- Brainy Brunette: She usually plays these types of characters.
- Hollywood Old: Played Hypatia in the film Agora when she was nearly forty (but of course is Older Than They Look). Even when Hypatia is sixty towards the end.
- Hot Scientist: A lot of her roles have her playing this, or else a Hot Librarian.
- I Am Very British: She'll usually posh up her voice just a little on screen, but she actually has this type of accent in real life.
- Its Pronounced Tro Pay: Her last name is pronounced like 'vice'. This hasn't stopped some people from saying 'wice' or 'wysk'.
