Quote Me of the Day: Matt Damon
August 8th, 2008
Matt created the H20 Africa Foundation to get water to the people who desperately need it.
On how traveling to Africa changed him:
“I think many of our problems would be solved if people had thick passports. There’s just no substitute for actually going and seeing things.”
When you’re a celebrity, he observes, “you start to feel a level of responsibility to direct attention to things that actually matter more than to silly things like who you’re dating.”
“The world water crisis is one of the most important public health issues of our time. Clean water can help put people on the first run of the development ladder.”
Hollywood doesn’t have many celebs who do good for any other reason than a photo op. Congrats to Matt for stepping up!
