Zitat des Tages von Kristian Nairn:
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.
I have to have everything. I have to have iPads. I've had I think every generation of iPod. I've had all the consoles at least once; I've had some of them twice. I get them and get fed up with them and get rid of them.
I never stopped DJing through the entire 'Game of Thrones' process. I never saw the need to stop because I do love it so much.
I had an upbringing to respect other people's privacy and their right to be and choose what they want, and I expect - no, demand - no less for myself.
I'm not saying I'm the bee's knees. But I am a legitimate musician.
I never thought people would be remotely interested in my silly little life, but I'm really glad that they are.
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.
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 a really big fan of meeting the fans. It's great to get feedback.
I just don't see why people are treated differently or with a different set of rules. It's just wrong.
I'm quite investigative. Believe it or not, my mum and dad were in the police, and I sort of like to read into things and stuff.
I play music for people all over the world. It's a huge privilege.
This is what really makes me happy: the whole story of 'Warcraft' and the lore behind it.
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 have no difficulty with career duality!
The Raves of Thrones parties started in Australia and has since spread all over the world. However, no one does it like the Aussies.
I was a total metal-head as a teen. I still love it, too.
Just do what you want to do and don't worry about what people say.
When I was 13, my mum knew that I was gay, and she just always knew.
My first musical dream was to be a guitar player, and believe me, it's still in there.
I think a lot of problems in this world would stop if people could stay out of other people's business.
I like to go out for dinner in Belfast with my friends, I like to work on the house. I like working on music.
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'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.
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.
I get 'Hodor' tweeted at me a lot.
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 don't really see myself as a celebrity.
I think if everyone had a little more Hodor in them, it'd be a nicer world.
I don't see the benefit in giving yourself a belief system that allows you to judge other people.
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.
Although I have been performing in all sorts of ways and roles since childhood, 'GoT' is my first proper venture onto the screen.
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Thor. I had a hammer.
It's an actor's dream to only have one line, and people like him, so I'm really lucky.
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.
