Lavigne said that there is a common misconception that she's going to be mean and people are often surprised that she's friendly and kind. The singer said she's had to become "tough" to make it in the music industry.
"I’m stubborn and strong-willed and strong-minded, and if I feel a certain way, I stick to it. I’m constantly fighting. I’ve been fighting since day one to write my own songs," she said. "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," Lavigne 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."
