Quotes from Kristian Nairn

I keep explaining this to people: I can do more than one thing.

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.

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 think that's why 'Game of Thrones' is such a watercooler talking point: because there are these moments that are beautiful and terrible at the same time.

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.

I wanted to be a guitar player.

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

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Thor. I had a hammer.

In all honesty, when you talk about 'the gay community,' you are talking about my community, haha.

I would relish a role that really shows a bit of background into how the bad guy got the way he is... a little more complex than cackling behind a hooded cloak.

To play this iconic character from this historically wonderful series of books - who wouldn't take that opportunity and be happy about it? I'm happy to be Hodor forever.

I'm a massive 'WoW' nerd, and gamer in general.

I played with local bands and ended up touring with Scissor Sisters, Mylo, Alphabeat, and Calvin Harris. That somehow changed into DJ'ing.

I remember the first single I ever bought. I think it was a terrible song called 'D.I.S.C.O.' by a band called Ottawan. It's a really fearless disco track from the '70s or early '80s.

I was quite a shy person growing up, and drag was very much a shield for me to perform behind.

I never thought people would be remotely interested in my silly little life, but I'm really glad that they are.

I've never hidden my sexuality from anyone - my whole life, in fact - and I've been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, 'cause it's not something you just blurt out.

I trained to become a sign-language interpreter because it helps you read physical expression and the emotions of body language.

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

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

It's just making sure that everyone is treated equally. Is that so progressive? I don't think it's progressive, I think it's human. And not just gay people - women's rights, immigrants, people of different ethnic backgrounds.

I'm aware of the subgenres and why they exist. But I don't feel like I have to limit myself. I don't feel like I just have to play deep house, just play tribal house, just play progressive house. I wouldn't feel right if I had to limit myself.

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.

I'm not saying I'm the bee's knees. But I am a legitimate musician.
