Danny patiently awaits lady love
PEOPLE say he is arrogant; he says he is “blunt but honest”. People also say he is unco-operative; he says: “I hate interviews m a ‘speech idiot Among Hong Kong’s top singers, Danny Chan has acquired a “notorious” reputation with reporters. It’s difticult, almost impossible, to interview Danny. Not long ago, he did not give a single interview when his record was released “I find it difficult to express my feelings in words. Maybe it’s because I don’t know how to answer questions in a well-structured manner,” says Danny. “I believe that if a singer can still get a good response to his songs despite a lack of publicity, he must be a real good singer.” However, his avoidance of publicity has not done his reputation and image any good. When he was not seen for several months last year, there was talk that he was gay and had died of AIDS. The rumours shocked him “I can’t understand why people can say such things about me.” He accused the rumour-mongers of “shining the shoes” of an artiste when he is popular but having only bad things to say when the chips are down. Danny, a talented singer and songwriter with a string of prizes to his credit, has no worries about his material welfare. He comes from a rich family and never has to worry about his next meal However, the emptiness shows through in his words. “My private life is zero. What I’m waiting for now is a real lover, a person who loves me truly and gives me a feeling of warmth.” As a Buddhist Danny understands that love is in the hands of fate, and so he waits patiently. Meanwhile, the singer is working hard for his singing career “My professional goal is to appear at the Grammy awards ceremony not necessarily as a winner; I’ll be just as happy if I were one of the presenters,” he says.
陈百强：静待伊人
人们说他脾气傲慢不合作，丹尼觉得自己说话笨笨的，但胜在够诚实「我没有谈吐自如的天份，不喜欢被访问」
作为香港一线艺人，丹尼在媒体和记者口中是出了名的难搞。要找他访问非常困难，甚至几乎是不可能的，不久前发表新专辑的时候他连一个访问也没有。
「我觉得很难用语言表达自己的感受，可能是我不太会组织语言回答记者提问吧」丹尼这样解释「我相信，一个歌手在没有什麽爆光率的情况下，大家仍然对他的作品有不错的反应，这说明了他的实力」
但是，丹尼疏远媒体可没给他带来什麽好处。去年，有几个月他没在公共场合露面，就有传言说他是同性恋、得爱滋离世等等，这样离谱的谣言让他震惊不已「我不明白为什麽人们要这样说」一浮众望，一沉百踩，香港媒体一贯如此。
丹尼，一个具有天赋的歌手和词曲作者，拥有足够的个人资本。他并不太看重名利得失，出生于殷实商人家庭的他从小衣食无忧，但言语中却流露出空虚寂寞的意味「我的私生活是缴白卷的，我在等待一个真正的爱人，一个真心爱我的人，一个暖心的女生」
丹尼是佛教徒，明白缘分天注定强求不来，所以他愿意耐心等待，盼有一天能遇到这样一个女孩子。
目前他更努力专注于自己的音乐事业「我的目标是葛莱美音乐大奖，不一定要拿奖，有份参加已经好开心」
