Being a DJ was a blessing in disguise. But with the label RTHK marked on your forehead, you lose a lot of job opportunities because everything needs the company’s approval.
The good thing being a radio host is that you can pour your heart out during the show, telling people who you are through your own words.
Everything you do or say leaves a record.
There was once a guy who called in and asked me if I remembered talking him out of suicide. Honestly, I didn’t.
Do I find the media distasteful? Can’t you tell?
No news is good news. Reporters here are more interested in scandals than anything else.
Local reporters are creative writers. They have the whole script in their head and collect the “evidence” by selectively taking snapshots and making a story out of it.
Ill-intentioned reporters should be prevented from laying their hands on the keyboard…
Last year while I was on my way home on the MTR, a paparazzo followed me. According to him, I am so broke I don’t even have money for food.
Common decency 101: If you want to take a picture of the person, ask.
Why bother to utter a word when the media is doing the whole story for you?
A three-minute performance on stage speaks louder than 300 interviews.
Success can bring disaster. My song “Late Autumn,” based on a song by a Mandarin artist, became a big hit once it was released.
Since then, my manager made me sing similar songs - songs that were already sung by other people in the mainland, hoping that they would become great hits too.
I am a singer-songwriter. To forgo originality is frustrating so I decided to leave my singing career behind completely.
I breeched my contract and things got very ugly during the legal fight. We are fighting with each other using documents.
I hate pouring money into lawyers' pockets.
Lawyers are frightening. I don’t want to deal with them. They are merely the most civilized gold-digging barbarians.
I am still learning to compromise.
I was not a property agent but for the sake of convenience, the media used this term to describe my job.
I was looking for jobs in the newspaper.  My 10 years of singing experience didn’t count much in the job market.
To kill time, I started renovating my own house. Then I started renovating my other properties and sold them at a higher price.
Since 2002, I have done a series of concerts. The “Long Time No see,” “The Unforgettable,” “The Fantasia”… these are the most meaningful projects I have 
ever done.
That’s what life is. The moment you decide to give it all up, opportunities come knock at your door.
As an artist, I should seize every opportunity that I get. You never know when your next chance will arrive.
I enjoy the whole process of doing a concert. No vigorous exercise and diet regime …nothing like that.
Record company squeeze as much profit out of the hottest, profit-making artists and stop spending money nurturing the young ones.
People like bitching. Westerners bitch about politics; we bitch about celebrities.
Hong Kong is a small village. Gossip goes around very quickly.
There is more to life than skin whitening.
I dyed my hair for some media attention. Without much gossip and a concert coming up, I had to do something to get attention.
My dyed hair serves its purpose and yes, I hate it.
My best project is always the next one.

Love does not exist. It never did.
In the world of love, gender doesn’t matter.
Most people are narcissists.  They love the other person so as to love themselves more.
I’m hungry… got anything I can eat with a fork?
I try to be happy though there are enough things to piss me off…yes, I am happy.
