- Known for his short temper
- His fame as a Partridge led to jealousies at home, making an already bad family situation worse. To get him away from that atmosphere, TV mom Shirley Jones and the other adults from the cast had Danny stay with them some weekends. Jones had children around Danny's age, so he fit in at her house. Susan Dey and David Cassidy treated him like a kid brother, while Dave Madden was like a bachelor father or bad uncle, teaching Danny to play cards, drive a car . . . and smoke.
- Has studied martial arts under Chuck Norris for over 20 years.
- Went to high school with Michael Jackson and Christian Brando.
- Holds black belts in the following martial arts: Okinawan Chinan Ryu; Tae Kwon Do; Tokyo-Ryu; Shorin Ryu. He won the 1980 and 1981 International Championships.
- Appeared in eight episodes of CHiPs (1977) as a martial artist.
- Most child actors were lucky enough to get the part in the first place. They cry and complain that now they are no longer little and cute Hollywood has no use for them. What we often fail to appreciate is that being little and cute may have been their only skill. Now that we are not so little anymore, and certainly not cute, some of us may have to face reality, stop whining, and get real jobs.
- When I was living on the street I would be standing out in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater, leaning against my car and signing autographs and nobody had any idea that I was living in it. No one had any idea that I was going to pull my car around the corner and go to sleep.
- Being a child star is great. It's being a former child star that sucks.
- There's nothing like turning on the radio and listening to the high-speed chase that you're leading police on!
- Gretchen [wife Gretchen Bonaduce] was my light at the end of a long tunnel of pain and struggle. She made sure I got my act together and life has been so much better since she has been in it.
