Voilà un florilège des interview de Mams'elle Moennig...
A travers ses rôles...et sa vie !
on herself"I like my hands. Nice long fingers. Strong. They serve me well."
"Realistically, if I wasn't acting I'd probably just be finishing college. I'd probably be graduating from some state school I hated and not really know what I was going to do."
"My best friend growing up really put the bug in my ear about acting. We created this one hour-and-a-half improv play when we were 10 or 11 and performed it at the library. We just played off each other so well and had the best time doing it and the funniest part was, we wound up having packed houses, other people loved it too. So I thought, maybe I can graduate from the library and actually do this for a living. I couldn't imagine anything else that I would enjoy more. And as for the people that inspire me? When I watch someone and I really believe them and what their doing, that's inspiring."
"My biggest challenge is trust, and really believing that trust, in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I'm getting better at it."
on her role as Shane (The L Word)"Instead of her sleeping around, I’d like to see her in a relationship that grows and see what happens."
"I just kind of related to her, and the research I did was to look at people who reminded me of her, whether they were friends or other people I'd seen in films, and use that as a reference point. Then I added that to my instincts and did my best to create the character."
"[Shane's family life is] very shattered. It obviously wasn't a very solid foundation, which is why you haven't seen it. But it seems like all that is coming back to haunt her these days, and she's trying to fill that void."
"I don't look at it as having a positive or negative impact. I see it as a chance to explore another part of myself and to learn something that's beyond positive. Everything is a stepping stone and that's how I see this. And if it is a risk and a little scary, then that's all the more reason to do it. Right now I'm focusing on giving this character a voice, and if I do that, i can't see that as being a negative thing. And just because I'm playing this role doesn't mean I can't do something else. That's the beauty of being an actor."
"I certainly think there are similarities between myself and Shane. There has to be. In every role you play you have to start with you, since you're the root. I can relate to a lot of what she is going through in the inside. And in the ways that I differ from her, I find that I learn more about myself."
"I'm still trying to describe Shane for myself, but on the outside Shane is someone who is a very sexual being and extremely comfortable with that. People's opinions about her don't faze her, and she lives the way she wants to, and basically can get whoever she wants, and at the same time she also is very alone in the search for what she wants."
on her role as Jake (Young Americans)"I think I am just as masculine as I am feminine. A nice balance, and it's wonderful learning to explore that side of yourself and see that part of your sexuality that you don't always see."
"The clothes are comfortable... but on a deeper level, I learned that the competition between boys and girls isn't as strong as between women."
"I learned that what makes it difficult is playing two exact opposites at the same time, but other than that, it's so much fun."
"It's a huge challenge, but at the end of the day I realized how much I learned."
"I really enjoyed my experience playing Jake. It was exceptionally rewarding. It was my first job, my first time in front of a camera, and I just became this sponge that absorbed as much as could. I learned a lot on that job, and I was given an outlet to play someone who was very much like myself as a kid. It was like I came full circle."
as Shane (The L Word)"Sexuality is fluid. Whether you're gay or you're straight or you're bisexual, you just go with the flow."
"She's way femmy on the coiffure tip."
"Give me the phone. Hey, Leese? Hi, Look. It - it completely slipped our minds. Look, you have to stop being such a lesbian. No, it's not cute. And you are gonna chase the girls away, I promise."
"What the fuck is so great about feeling? Because I finally let myself. And I feel like my heart's been completely ripped out."
"It's because Mr. Piddles was gonna inherit Dana's fortune and Tonya murdered him so she could be the next in line, right? Right? Drop it."
"I don't have a plan. That's the point."
"I think people like to categorize things too much."
"Cool. If the person's not for you, pull your ear, and that means "outta there". And I'll do this. *Rubs her nose*"
"I would pee standing up on every bush I could find."
"Oh, I think he's referring to... bean-fiddlers?"
"You do not talk too much. That's the thing. Talking too much can kill it. You don't tell your life story, and you don't let them tell theirs."
"Oh, quit bein' such a les!"
"Flavoring? In my coffee? What the fuck is he talking about with the flavoring?"
as Jake (Young Americans)"I am 100% female, alright? I am obsessed with Sarah McLachlan, and I have a subscription to Seventeen, and my favorite nail polish is Barely Pink, and I think I look fat in bikinis. And these? Are not fake."
"What isn't wrong with this picture?"
"She's hot... right?"
"You know, you said before about me being, you know, gay. I'm not. That I promise you. I just had a sketchy moment, but it's over. I'm just saying you don't have to feel weird around me. "
"Yep! Okay! I'm da man! Oh my God. I'm da man."
"Get inside my mom's email account, send a letter as her, and her attorney wires the money wherever I say. The wonders of the digital age."
"Waiting for someone to notice."
