‘I Just Learned To Shut My Mouth’: Avril

Avril Lavigne offered a partial explanation for why many consider her a “difficult” person to interview. “I learned from the beginning you can’t really say stuff about other artists because it gets in every single magazine all over the world as soon as you do,” Lavigne told Mike Devlin of CanWest News Service during a tour stop in Germany before embarking on the North American leg of her extended tour. “After the first couple of things I said about Britney Spears, I knew I couldn’t be talking like that. So I just learned to shut my mouth.”
