“Well, he talks about New York in his work, and it seemed like New York was such an inspiration to him that I thought, I need to go here. Like, it’s kind of necessary to experience it.”

-”My Life as Liz” star Liz Lee, talking about how late rapper the Notorious B.I.G. inspired her to move from her home in Burleson, Texas to New York City (at least partially). Lee said goodbye to her hometown on Monday night’s season finale episode of “My Life as Liz,” and she happened to be paying tribute to Biggie Smalls on the sad anniversary of his death (her favorite song is “Juicy,” by the way).

It has been quite a transition for Liz, and watching the finale from her new home was an intense experience for her. “To see all of my friends and the look on their faces when I actually left, that was surprising,” she said. “It was almost like their support was tangible and visible, and it made me miss them a lot. seeing the last episode made me kind of sad.”

Though the show was an experience she definitely enjoyed, she has no problem with it being over for the time being. “I was actually kind of relieved after the season finale, ’cause you know, you work so hard for so long to have this final product, you’re kind of relieved,” she said. “Then there’s that feeling of sadness, ’cause it’s over, and it was a really fun ride. It’s an amazing feeling.”
