J.R. EWING "I love it," Larry Hagman said in 1979 of playing Dallas' cutthroat oilman, who used sabotage and blackmail to get his way. "It's so much fun. Nice guys don't have any fun. I get to love all the ladies, stab all the men in the back."

CERSEI LANNISTER "I don't know if I sympathize with her. I admire her," said Lena Headey to Time of playing Game of Thrones' cruel queen, who once blew up a church killing everyone inside.
