Any sort of performance was always what I was really born to do.

I've done fairly well as a performer and a DJ in the U.K., so 'Game of Thrones' really just opened up a whole new market for me.

'Game of Thrones' was a game-changer for Northern Ireland. There's going to be a massive gap when it goes.
Kristian Nairn -
I really know what it's like to work and live every moment now, and I'm really grateful for that.

When I started 'Game of Thrones,' the first three seasons, I still DJ'd every night before I went on set. I'd finish DJing at 3 A.M. and have to be on set at 5 A.M.

I had actually sent an audition tape for Simon Pegg's movie 'Hot Fuzz,' which came to nothing. Four years after the film released, out of nowhere, I got a call saying the producers of 'Game of Thrones' wanted me to play Hodor after they had seen that particular tape.

In all honesty, when you talk about 'the gay community,' you are talking about my community, haha.
Kristian Nairn -
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 always have to have the new gadgets and stuff when they come out. I'm not really interested enough in learning how they work.

I was always into classical music and opera because I played the piano as I went through school and was very interested in Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals and stuff like that. That changed into heavy metal at around the age of 14 or 13, and I dropped the piano and started to play the guitar.
Kristian Nairn -
My mother started me on the piano when I was 3 years old.
Kristian Nairn -
I wanted to be a guitar player.
Kristian Nairn -
I'm not saying I'm the bee's knees. But I am a legitimate musician.
Kristian Nairn -
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Thor. I had a hammer.

Everyone likes fantasy to get away from everyday life, but I think 'Game of Thrones' is not like fairies and unicorns. It's very relatable to everyday life. It's not too fantastic - just a little bit.
Kristian Nairn -
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.
Kristian Nairn -
Of course I have had thoughts about going into politics.
Kristian Nairn -
I was always very into heavy metal, and heavy metal is full of emotion and extremes, and I think that's the same in dance music.
Kristian Nairn -
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.
Kristian Nairn -
I played with local bands and ended up touring with Scissor Sisters, Mylo, Alphabeat, and Calvin Harris. That somehow changed into DJ'ing.

My first musical dream was to be a guitar player, and believe me, it's still in there.
Kristian Nairn -
I did a music festival in France. I'm not going to name names, but there were bigger bands and DJs on before me, and throughout their set, all I could hear them chanting was 'Hodor!' And I was, like, 'Oh, please stop! It's so disrespectful to the other acts!' In a way, obviously, I loved it, but it was kind of embarrassing at the same time.
Kristian Nairn -
I'm a really big fan of meeting the fans. It's great to get feedback.
Kristian Nairn -
I have no difficulty with career duality!
