Quotes: [on his ideal 2013 Emmys] I just watched the Louis C.K. special [Louis C.K. Oh My God (2013)]. If he doesn't win... He was just so brilliant. I'm also a huge Breaking Bad (2008) fan. They only had half a season, but even half a season of that is worth 10 of most other shows. Those guys and girls could easily throw a few more Emmys at them. <br /> <hr> [on having to play 'Game of Thrones' character Jaime Lannister, having lost his normal fencing hand in the story] It's great. As an actor you have a character who's defined by his skills as a swordsman, and then you take away that one thing. It's great because it creates this huge obstacle. It's difficult for him to deal with as a person, but as an actor you live for those moments. Physically, it was a nightmare at the beginning because I had to have my arm down my left leg and my stump up here, but now it's fine. <br /> <hr> I know nothing more annoying when people I don't know jump to conclusions on my person based on nothing but gossip or speculation. <br /> <hr> I'm a huge 'Breaking Bad' fan; I would be really annoyed if anyone told me anything about what was going to happen in the last eight episodes. <br /> <hr> I like to wear beautiful clothes, but I don't have that many.
Salaries: Game of Thrones (2011) - $952,857 an episode (season 7) <br /> <hr> Game of Thrones (2011) - ��340,000 per episode <br /> <hr> Game of Thrones (2011) - $1,066,667 per episode (season 8)
