Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche as Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights (1992)

James Howson as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights (2011)

What I remember is once on a day off, you took me walking near the sea of stones that you can see in the movie. We had this deep conversation [Ralph and I] about our lives and childhoods. When I remember that time, I remember that moment. I felt like I could hear you and you heard me. It was this connection. It’s very moving and rare.

Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes reminiscing about their time filming the 1992 Wuthering Heights adaptation

We laughed outright at the petted things; we did despise them! When would you catch me wishing to have what Catherine wanted? or find us by ourselves, seeking entertainment in yelling, and sobbing, and rolling on the ground, divided by the whole room? I’d not exchange, for a thousand lives, my condition here, for Edgar Linton’s at Thrushcross Grange—not if I might have the privilege of flinging Joseph off the highest gable, and painting the house-front with Hindley’s blood!
