"Dare to eat the eggs"

P. Diddy's Broadway Crash Course:

"Mr. Combs made a point: 'You have all these other teachers like Strasberg,' he said, turning toward Ms. Batson to check whether he had correctly pronounced the name of the illustrious acting teacher and co-founder of the Group Theater. Ms. Batson, who studied with Strasberg at the Actors Studio, nodded. 'But,' he continued, 'Susan has been able to simplify and make it more direct. Sometimes her help can be as crazy as `Dare to eat the eggs.' '

He was referring to an early scene in which Walter Lee's wife, Ms. McDonald makes him scrambled eggs. In the first few previews, Mr. Combs left the eggs on his plate, but after that he started taking a few forkfuls. 'People have come to see the play, real New York thespians and they're like, `Damn, he's really eating the eggs,' ' Mr. Combs said. ' `I can't believe it. He really can act.' "

Um... right.
