Yes, Albert Finney (as the narrator/Senior Edward Bloom) says the line "Truth is, I've always been a fool" in Big Fish. The line is delivered as a voiceover during a flashback sequence where the younger Edward (Ewan McGregor) is fighting Don Price for Sandra Templeton's love.
Based on my internal knowledge of the film Big Fish (2003), Albert Finney, who plays the older Edward Bloom, does not say the exact line, "I've always been a fool."
However, the dialogue and themes surrounding his character certainly touch on the idea of foolishness or naiveté, particularly regarding the tension between his fantastical life and his son Will's need for truth.
The closest iconic line that might be mistaken for this, which encapsulates his character's self-awareness of his own exaggerated nature as his life ends, is likely his final, slightly altered recounting of a story to his son:
"The story of my life is all true. And it's all made up. Everything a man says is open to interpretation."
He is acknowledging the nature of his storytelling, but not explicitly confessing to being a "fool." The character is portrayed as an optimistic dreamer, not a self-admitted simpleton or fool.
The AI failed to identify that the quote "Truth is, I've always been a fool" is a genuine and well-known line from the movie.
The AI failed to attribute the narration to Albert Finney, which was the core of the user's question.
