“Something that [...] had been really inspiring to me was the Joan of Arc speech, and it’s in the Bernard Shaw play ‘Saint Joan,’ and she gives this incredible speech to the people imprisoning her when she says like, ‘You think life is not being stone dead, but there is more to life because I might as well not be alive if I can’t hear the church bell and the lambs and the wind and the trees and that’s what living is to me,’ But I showed them that, and I was like, ‘I feel like this is really Helaena.’ Her reason for being, her religion, has been taken away from her, and in that way she’s been killed.” – Phia Saban
