What’s the phrases something like “don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story”

I believe that. Loved the movie “big fish”

One thing I like to say is “I once had my hair braided illegally in the Bahamas” sounds fascinating and it’s technically true. The real story is I cheaped out and the person who braided my hair didn’t have a license for a business.

Lots of people go to unlicensed hair stylist. It not that interesting when you lay out the facts.
