No. That's an apocryphal quote. Richard Feynman said in 1965, " I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." It turns out it wasn't true even when Feynman said it, and it's certainly not true today.
Feynman's problem is that he was committed to the idea that particles are real. They aren't [1].
There are a lot of arguments over the proper interpretation of QM but it turns out that when you get to the bottom of things they are all saying the same things using different terminology.
