KRISTIAN NAIRN

I grew up with the British-Chicago crossover of house music with a lot of pianos and very heavy bass lines, but what I love about house is you can mix it up a bit.

I actually started off - believe it or not - doing drag. I travelled the world because I was a completely off-the-wall drag artist.

My first musical dream was to be a guitar player, and believe me, it's still in there.

Just do what you want to do and don't worry about what people say.

I sorta worked out a few years ago that one of my favorite things to do in 'World of Warcraft' is look for things, to just spend the time flying around searching.

I really wasted a lot of time in my 20s.

I don't really make a distinction because when I'm acting, I feel like an actor, and when I DJ, I feel like a DJ, and when I play the guitar, I feel like a guitar player. I don't know which I prefer. I think I just like to perform, in some way or another.

People either think Hodor is a very easy character to play or a very difficult one; there's no in between. But it's a lot of fun having to completely switch personalities inside four seconds, with no words. That's a joy for an actor to get to show all that complex emotion in such a short space of time.

I have and always will stand my ground.

I've been thinking if 'GoT' would lend itself easily to an MMORPG. I mean, it certainly has the background and incredible storylines for it, along with some pretty huge characters to hinge the story around.

Taller people get very competitive. When I meet someone who's close to me or taller, I'm straight up; I don't wanna be smaller than them.

I saw what religion did to people when I grew up, and I certainly didn't want any part of it. That turned me off it.

Winterfell is atop of this huge mountain in Northern Ireland, and you can see all these weather fronts coming in. Basically, the sky circles the mountain. It's the most beautiful place.

I think a lot of problems in this world would stop if people could stay out of other people's business.

I love 'Tron.'

I just don't see why people are treated differently or with a different set of rules. It's just wrong.

When I was 13, my mum knew that I was gay, and she just always knew.

I'm a really big fan of meeting the fans. It's great to get feedback.

I've had dogs all my life. I'm a huge animal lover, especially dogs, so that's one of the hardest things about being away all the time. I really miss them, but my mum does a really good job looking after then when I'm gone.

I wanted to be a guitar player.

I think you can go too far into your subgenres. When you're talking about chillstep and stuff like that, I think you've gone a bit too far.

Of course I have had thoughts about going into politics.

I don't really see myself as a celebrity.

Most of the clubbing I did was gay clubbing.

I recognise that, while I was fortunate enough to grow up without any discrimination or stigma attached at all, other people haven't been so lucky.
