The Green Quote: Damon Plans For Kids To See The Real World

October 25th 2008

“It’s a hard thing to explain to a kid. And it is also unbelievable the way other kids are forced to live. The way you have to parent them is to show them the world. Explaining the world can only go so far. You can read about devastation every morning – it’s on the front page of the newspaper – but when you actually go there and see it, you realize this isn’t something you can turn the page on.”

Matt Damon speaking with People magazine while helping to raise cash in San Francisco for the OneXOne foundation. The 37-year-old actor added that he will probably bring his kids along with him on future overseas charity initiatives.
