What Diddy brings to the show, obviously, is a recognized brand name. He's also one of the best party-givers of his generation.

I came here when Judy was president, and that was definitely one of the things that kept me there. It was inspiring and motivating. . . . She was very who she was, and that sort of makes you comfortable being who you are. And know that you can succeed.

She was incredibly important. She was one of that first group in the 1930s of designers recognized by name.

Put your name on something, it better be the best, ... You only get one shot.

We're excited by the challenge. To be recognized as one of the best then you have to play the best.

It's the one thing I actively don't like: just being recognized.
