Yes I remember there was an interview in the 90s where he spoke about this himself.

He was an actor on the film School Ties and he speaks of his own abilities compared to the other actors, particularly recalling him mention Matt Damon... something to the effect of that he was confident in his abilities but on School Ties he really realized the differences in skill sets and that he felt humbled. That seeing Matt Damon work was an eye opening experience to him and made him realize he wasn't as skilled as his ego had told him and that he had a lot of work to do but that essentially some people just have a gift and that he felt that he simply didn't have that innate gift like Damon showed but he still thought he himself was talented.

I likened it to how I could practice & be good at an instrument however there's some people I've come across and they pick up any instrument and just posses an inate skill & flow to their musical expression
