GRRM: the tv show and the book will have the same ending

Here is a poor google translation of two q&a's that stood out to me - so does this mean that Jonerys isn't end game or atleast one of them on the Throne? And how is Jon not the hero? Maybe Tyrion will sit on the throne...

Who do you think are the three best players of the game of thrones and why?

-For me the best players will be those who manage to reach the throne without dying in the attempt and keep it, which is the most important. I can not condition the future of some characters with my response, as you will understand. But I can tell you that those who pass more unnoticed or play in the shadows, have higher expectations.

So, is not Jon the hero of this story? Daenerys would not deserve a reward after living in exile since childhood?

-I do not like labels. All my characters have suffered, each in his own way. For something I write from their points of view, so that we can all understand why they do what they do and how they feel in front of the enemy. For the Lannister, the Starks are the bad guys. It would not be fair to dismiss them as villains or their rivals as heroes. Is Jon a hero? You can, but so is Jaime Lannister, Sam Tarly or Stannis Baratheon. Each of them has been a coward once, but also brave. If you ask me if Jon is the hero of this story, I answer that he is not; all are important as long as they remain alive among my pages and they will have the same opportunity to prove their worth. Regarding Daenerys, I do not think that deserving, in this saga, is synonymous to obtain. In real life, because you are a good person, you do not get everything you want.
