Problem: Article: Part of his job since arriving in April has been improving the disciplinary record of midfielder Liam Noble.
"I come from the streets and I know from my past that all the best players are difficult characters," Moniz said.
"We have a few characters which a lot of clubs and coaches would run away from. I think you should guide them in a good direction and be a leader."
The Magpies, who are 14th in League Two, travel to Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday after last weekend's dramatic 4-3 victory over Newport.
Noble scored twice on Saturday, including the injury-time winner, to secure Notts an eighth victory of the season.
And Moniz is impressed with the performances from the 24-year-old, who was sent-off three times last season and red-carded early in this campaign against Accrington.
Moniz told BBC Radio Nottingham: "Noble has made a big step this season. He has eight goals now and there are no red cards anymore.
"Off the pitch he is a massive influence in the dressing rooms. It is fantastic to see his development.
"If people are not different, we only create robots. It starts with the youth, sometimes difficult characters are sent away but they are the best.
"You think of George Best, Cantona, Gascoigne - you can't say they are bad players.
"Noble is a little different and sometimes he can surprise you."

Problem: Article: Luke Marshall's neat early score had put the visitors ahead before Billy Vunipola crossed from a rolling maul to give Saracens a narrow half-time lead.
The Premiership leaders cut loose after the break though, with Duncan Taylor going over before forwards Maro Itoje and Schalk Brits got in on the act.
As Pool One winners, Saracens will be at home in the last eight.
They have made at least the semi-finals in the past three seasons, but France's top teams - and Europe's top prize - have remained tantalisingly out of reach.
However, the clinical way in which the north London side became the first team to make the last eight of this season's competition suggests they are in with a real shout to finally claim the trophy.
Despite failing to secure any bonus points in defeat, Ulster can still also make the quarter-finals.
The Irish province are second in Pool One with 13 points and a home match against Oyonnax to come next weekend. The three best runners-up across the five pools will also qualify.
Coach Les Kiss will have been pleased by the performance of Ireland's Jared Payne who, in his first start since breaking his foot at the World Cup, showed that his rugby brain was as sharp as ever, dribbling a delicious grubber kick through for Marshall to dot down for the first score.
Saracens' set-piece delivered their first try. Hooker Jamie George picked out Itoje, the hosts soaked up Ulster's counter-shove and rolled around the corner to allow Billy Vunipola to burrow over.
The combination will have impressed watching new England coach Eddie Jones, who included all three in his Six Nations squad on Wednesday.
Farrell's place kicking may not have done, with the usually metronomic fly-half missing a couple of shots at goal in the first half.
However, the 24-year-old has added a new attacking edge to his excellent distribution this season and his adventure paid off shortly after the break as he dummied and darted between Paddy Jackson and Robbie Diack to break clear and put Taylor away into the corner.
Itoje then dotted down from less than a metre before replacement Schalk Brits bundled his way over after a typically bustling burst.
Replacement Ian Humphreys broke clear for a late score for Ulster, but it was too little, too late for the visitors.
Saracens: B Ransom, C Ashton, M Bosch, B Barritt (c), C Wyles, O Farrell, R Wigglesworth; M Vunipola, J George, P Du Plessis, M Itoje, G Kruis, M Rhodes, W Fraser, B Vunipola.
