| Introduction | It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. ~Vita Sackville-West |
| Interests | I have an interest in biscuits and drinking tea. |
| Favorite movies | * It's got to be Iris. Iris is a 2001 biographical film that tells the story of Irish novelist Iris Murdoch and her relationship with John Bayley. The film contrasts the start of their relationship * when Murdoch (played by Kate Winslet) was an outgoing * dominant individual as compared to her timid and scholarly partner Bayley (played by Hugh Bonneville) * and their later life * when Murdoch (now played by Judi Dench) was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and tended to by a frustrated Bayley (played by Jim Broadbent) in their North Oxford home in Charlbury Road. The film * which was directed by Richard Eyre * is based on Bayley's memoir Elegy for Iris. The beach scenes were filmed at Southwold in Suffolk * one of Murdoch's favourite haunts. Broadbent received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role. Dench and Winslet were both nominated * for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively. |
| Favorite books | You can never have a favorite book. Everything that is written from the human mind should be valued equally. |
