Fun people and fantastic courses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C: What is your biggest pet peeve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N: When I know that people are blatantly lying and when I attempt to correct them, but they insist that they are right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C: Who would direct your biopic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N:\u00a0I would have to say Charlie Kaufman. He wrote <em>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/em> and <em>Being John Malkovich<\/em>, but he made his directorial debut with <em>Synecdoche, New York<\/em>.
