Earlier this month, Lavigne toldAlt Pressabout common misconceptions about her as a person, given her punk-rock persona.
“Honestly, a lot of people, when they meet me, [they] think I’m going to be a bitch,” she said. “I’m actually really nice. They’re always like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re totally not what I was expecting.’ People think I’m, like, whatever. I was weird, tough and strong.”
She added, “You [had to] stand up for yourself. You might come across as a bitch, but I think being a bitch is a really good thing. I’mtotally a f—–g bitch, and that’s a good thing. It means that you’re not a doormat. You’re not a pushover, and you speak your mind.”

That strong will is something the “Girlfriend” singer has had to embody her entire career in order to get where she is today.
“I’m stubborn and strong-willed and strong-minded,and if I feel a certain way, I stick to it,” Lavigne said. “I’m constantly fighting. I’ve been fighting since day one to write my own songs. I had to fight my whole career to write the type of music I wanted to write.”
“Sometimes labels would give me pushback and didn’t understand my vision,” she added. “I had to always fight and fight on each album to keep going in the musical direction I wanted to go, even if they’re trying to sway me another way.”
