- Vicky shares the same view on justice and equality as her character in Orange Is the New Black, Janae Watson. Just like Janae, Vicky is also very outspoken.
- She keeps a journal/diary.
- Vicky eats and drinks dairy in small amounts because it causes her skin to break out, and avoids eating large quantities of meat for the same reason.

- Her co-star Uzo Aduba originally auditioned for the role of Janae Watson but landed the role of Suzanne ‘Crazy Eyes’ Warren because Vicky proved to be a better fit.
- Vicky came to the audition for Orange Is the New Black in a dress, since it was summer and extremely hot. At the last minute, she realized the character from prison wouldn’t wear a dress and a full face of makeup. She rushed to the bathroom, washed off the makeup, put on a hoodie and sweatpants, and started “cursing up a storm” when she entered the room.
- Her favorite scenes in Orange Is the New Black are those she shared with actress Taryn Manning who played Tiffany ‘Pennsatucky’ Doggett.
- She often hears from devoted fans who take time off work to binge-watch an entire season of Orange Is the New Black. Vicky often does the same and has watched an entire 2nd season of BBC America’s series Orphan Black (2013-2017) in a day.
- She doesn’t have a rigorous routine when it comes to maintaining her curly afro haircut – she simply washes it and adds a leave-in conditioner.
- The products that are a staple in her hair routine are Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner and Eco Styler.
