(on Cambridge) I went there to row. I`ll be blunt with it. It`s been ten years, and I think the admissions tutor can take it now . . . but that`s really what I went for, and anthropology was the most convenient subject to read while spending eight hours a day on the river.
- Hugh LaurieI learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.
- Tim RobbinsLearn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it`s really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
