Furthermore, he's really only talking about the Shakespeare interpretation of that, which took plenty of liberties with the historical accounts.

There is absolutely no record of him ever saying that. In fact, the opposite is true. We have accounts that he was mostly just screaming and crying in pain the whole time and didn't say a damn thing.
