2. SOUNDBITE (English) Edgar Ramirez, actor - on whether he could imagine being in the same situation as his character:
"No, that's why I wanted to do it because I couldn't imagine. No I couldn't. I could not imagine to leave everything behind. I mean, to leave the people that you love the most behind and also leave them behind with such a deafening silence, because no explanations were made, no discussions were had. It was very violent. It is very violent. It's a very violent job, you know, at the core because the amount of information, of personal information that you have to withhold is crushing. And then in the end, where does the illusion begin and where does it end? I mean, who are you? I mean, when you look at yourself in the mirror as a spy, who are you really? Because you're even forced to either lie or withhold the truth even to the people that you love the most, to people that are supposed to know you the best. So where does it begin and where does it stop? I mean, that's why it's the ultimate acting job, but at the same time, is really is a split personality exercise and that is, it is fascinating and of course I understand now better than ever why spy movies are so fascinating and interesting."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Penelope Cruz, actress:
"She prefers to follow him 100 percent because of her ideology and she prefers to be separated from her children because of that. So that's why I needed, you know, to talk to a lot of people there to understand that kind of extreme passion about it because I cannot judge the characters that I play and I don't have to agree with them either, but I have to 100 percent understand where they're coming from. Yeah, and I needed that research and everyone on the set was telling me, 'Stop asking all those questions. You are making them uncomfortable.' And I said like, 'Sorry, I am asking from a place of respect, but also I have to prepare this character and I have to, I have to deeply understand the different ways of seeing this reality.'"

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Gael Garcia Bernal, actor:
"It was love that made them sustain 16 years in prison and spend, you know... I mean, the character that I play, he was condemned to two life sentences and for I mean, having done nothing, having not killed anybody, you know - having, like, really just stopped actually violence happening. So it was a big scandal that these guys were punished so strongly, you know. And at the same time, you know, it just unveiled the whole hypocrisy of, you know, of the government and also the legal system as well, you know. And like, it really, I don't know, it's an interesting story to talk about also because they - we talked about that yesterday - also because they won. And normally these stories, they don't win. You know, normally what we, I don't know, we talk about failed efforts in a way, but actually this effort was successful."
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Olivier Assayas, director:
"I didn't go to Cuba with a lot of trust that they will allow us to shoot and I was very surprised when they changed their mind. And you know, I did discussions I had with my producer, I said, 'You know, the thing is that we can't really make a movie under the control of the Cubans so they have to be, like, really aware that we are making this movie but we are making it our way and you know, I'm not dealing in propaganda, whatever - I want to make a story I (want) to be able to make a movie where I get the facts right.' And the Cubans said yes, and they basically stuck to their word. I mean, it was such. I mean, shooting the film there was a nightmare, you know. So I need to make that very clear, you know, because everything is difficult. I mean, they don't have the most basic resources to, you know, to do the most basic things you do in movies. So you know, so they have great locations, they have great technicians, they allowed us access to those crazy planes from the 1960s. I can't even believe someone flies them, a guy still flies them, and at the same... But at the same time we had some pressure where all of a sudden we felt that they were not so happy we were around, so it was ambivalent."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Edgar Ramirez, actor - on the causes he's passionate about:
"Well I mean, I come from Venezuela, if that gives you a hint, you know. I mean, it's one of the most brutal dictatorships, you know, in the world right now and the regime that violates human rights - every day, as we speak, they're violating human rights. So yeah, I draw my line there. I mean, wherever I can support the defense of human rights, I will try to be useful."

STORYLINE:
PENELOPE CRUZ DELVES DEEP INTO CHARACTER
In "The Wasp Network," Penelope Cruz found it hard to understand the motivations of her character, a Cuban woman who followed her ideology and prefered to go to jail over staying with her children.
The Spanish actress played a real person in the new spy drama, based on Fernando Morais' book "The Last Soldiers of The Cold War," and she needed to understand her before embodying her.
"So that's why I needed, you know, to talk to a lot of people there to understand that kind of extreme passion about it because I cannot judge the characters that I play and I don't have to agree with them either, but I have to 100 percent understand where they're coming from," she said in a recent interview in Venice.
"I needed that research and everyone on the set was telling me, 'Stop asking all those questions. You are making them uncomfortable.' And I said like, 'Sorry, I am asking from a place of respect, but also I have to prepare this character and I have to, I have to deeply understand the different ways of seeing this reality.'"
The movie tells the true story of a group of Cuban dissidents who began a new life in 1990s Miami to work towards the destabilization of the Castro regime.
Edgar Ramirez, who plays one of the spies, says the role shed some light into the thought processes of such a person.
"I could not imagine to leave everything behind. I mean, to leave the people that you love the most behind and also leave them behind with such a deafening silence, because no explanations were made, no discussions were had. It was very violent. It is very violent. It's a very violent job, you know, at the core because the amount of information, of personal information that you have to withhold is crushing. And then in the end, where does the illusion begin and where does it end?"
"I mean, that's why it's the ultimate acting job, but at the same time, is really is a split personality exercise and... it is fascinating and of course I understand now better than ever why spy movies are so fascinating and interesting."
French director Olivier Assayas said he didn't expect to be granted permission to shoot in Cuba, which somehow became both a blessing and a curse for the production.
"Shooting the film there was a nightmare, you know. So I need to make that very clear, you know, because everything is difficult. I mean, they don't have the most basic resources to, you know, to do the most basic things you do in movies. So you know, so they have great locations, they have great technicians, they allowed us access to those crazy planes from the 1960s. I can't even believe someone flies them, a guy still flies them, and at the same... But at the same time we had some pressure where all of a sudden we felt that they were not so happy we were around, so it was ambivalent."
"Wasp Network" also stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Wagner Moura and Ana de Armas.
It is one of the 21 films in competition at the 76th Venice Film Festival.
