Meiling: “Congratulations on the film. You are a really good actress. So first of all, how do you want people to accept your flawed character on the screen?”

Carey, “Yeah, that is sort of what drew me to the part is just a realistic portray of a woman, I think we are all flawed, and making mistakes, we all have those moments of life that we don’t behave perfectly, and we used to see women behave very well on the screen. If a mother is on screen she is usually a saint or the worst person that ever lived. There’s no sort of middle ground. So, I like the idea of seeing a woman that’s having a really bad week.”

金美翎：“恭喜您新片终于杀青了！您的演技很棒呢！您认为您演的这个性格缺陷较多的角色怎样才能受到观众的好评呢？”

凯瑞·穆丽根：“这就是我选择这角色的原因：我喜欢真实女性写实的一面。我们每个人的性格都有瑕疵，我们都做过错事。我们总在大荧屏上看到很唯美的女性，但有时好人也会做一些行为不端的事情。一般情况下，母亲的角色要么很神圣，要么就是一个很糟糕的女人，就没有一个阴阳相间性格的人物。因此我很喜欢这样一个真实的正反平衡的角色。”

Meiling: “You have played so many different characters. What are other types of character, dream characters, you have not played, but you want to portray on the screen?”

 

Carey, “I don’t know if that’s a dream character. I’d like to do something that’s contemporary because I have done quite a lot of  period films. I don’t know if there’s a dream role as much as directors that I want to work with. And I would like to do something that I haven’t done before.”

 

金美翎：“您一生中演过的角色跨度很大，您还有没有任何很向往的却还没演过的角色？”

凯瑞·穆丽根：“我并没有任何所谓的理想角色。我很想演多一点的现代片，因为我过去接过太多的时代片了。角色的话，我无所谓，主要还是看我想要合作的导演。当然，当演员嘛，我总是喜欢尝试新角色。”
