The comma after "this" is wrong because with it, it means you have doubts whether or not he is saying what he said. The rule against starting a sentence with a conjunction is a good one because people tend to do it when it is better not to, as you have done with "but". The semicolon should not be used in rendered speech because it is wholly an artifact of written language.
