So, is Picasso saying that the paintings made by Toulouse-Lautrec and Steinlen were never thought to be made by Picasso?

This is the complete quotation:
"They said that when I began in Paris I copied Toulouse-Lautrec and Steinlen; possible, but never was a painting by Toulouse-Lautrec or Steinlen taken for mine. It is better to copy a drawing or painting than to try to be inspired by
