Trivia

add »
When Liza has time off from work, she loves to see movies and read books. She also tries to travel and visit people she rarely sees. (edit)
Liza claims that she is "painfully shy," which Gilmore Girls viewers may have a hard time picturing. (edit)
Amy Sherman-Palladino has complimented Weil's skin as "the best she's ever seen in her life." (edit)
Liza is a natural brunette, and had this hair color through at least 2000; it is believed she was told to dye it dark blonde for her Gilmore Girls role to contrast with Bledel's (Rory's) brown hair. (edit)
Liza's real-life friend Emily Bergl, known more for her starring role in The Rage: Carrie 2, appeared on the show several times as Paris' antagonist in student government and a leader of a school sorority, Francine Jarvis. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Liza Weil: Most of the time I'm really laid back, and pretty shy, and it probably takes a long time to get to know me, but I'm really nice once you get to know me. (edit)
Liza Weil (On being part of "Gilmore Girls"): It's pretty rare to find female roles on television that are written with any kind of intelligence. That makes me really happy, and I certainly am proud to be a part of something that makes it cool for girls to be smart and read, and that's something I'm really, really, happy to be a part of. (edit)
Liza Weil (On the finale of "Gilmore Girls"): It's unfortunate that, I think, a lot of those fans are going to think there isn't closure. Hopefully, there won't be toilet paper in the trees of all the writers. (edit)
Liza Weil: I really wanted to go to New York and get out of suburbia, but I fell into that whole self-sabotage, 'protect-me-from-what-I-want' syndrome that I think all seniors in high school do. (edit)
Liza Weil: Teenagers really don't talk things out in real life. You see these Dawson's Creek teenagers who are so articulate, and talking about every problem imaginable, but the truth is teenagers don't have the skills to talk about things that upset them. (edit)
