Avril Lavigne left the music scene last year to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. Instead the former skater chick was left unimpressed by the majority of scripts she read:

“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 realized 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.”
