AVRIL LAVIGNE - LAVIGNE GETS PICKY WITH HER PARTS

Aspiring actress AVRIL LAVIGNE has conceded launching a Hollywood career is harder than she anticipated. The 22-year-old took a break from music last year (06) to concentrate on movies, but only signed to two projects - animated film OVER THE HEDGE and ensemble piece FAST FOOD NATION - because she was left unimpressed by the majority of scripts she read. Now Lavigne accepts finding the perfect silver screen role could take years. She says, "I decided a couple of years ago that I wanted to get into acting so I got a movie agent and thought that on my last year off I would have shot a whole bunch of movies, but I didn't because I've been reading scripts for two years and they've all been crap. "I realised that I can't just decide, 'Hey, I want to act,' and then be in a wicked movie. It might be five years until I find the perfect film. "So I have to be patient. I don't want it to be cheesy. I'm not going to do something till I read the script and go, 'Oh my God, this is it!' It really has to speak to me."
