And no, he hasn't said that but in reading past comments I've always pegged him as a guy who's going to do his movies and not give a fuck about critics...

Anyway, I personally think he's just blowing off steam here... I'm guessing he faced a lot of pressure bringing this movie in on time and is happy enough to be done with it to give one of those "Never again... until the next time..." declarations... Steve'll throw enough bread at him to do the third Transformers...
