Do biographers make up quotes for their books?

I've been reading a lot of biographies lately and I'm noticing a trend. There are these times when the biographers describe exactly what the celebrity was wearing, and then, word for word, describe a conversation that took place. Now even if the biographer had the best source in the world - how could they know exactly how a conversation went? I mean when you interview someone, for every question you can't say, "Tell me EXACTLY what you both said here." So my question is, do biographers kind of take the context and make up quotes that are pretty close to it? or how else is this done? Cus damn.

1. I believe that is because biographers spend time sitting down with the person they are writing about and converse with them. That is generally how it is done. Pax- C
