Simply put, that is untrue. They should be used sparingly, but used nonetheless. Exclamation points are basically for interjections and sometimes shouting. Italics should be used to put emphasis on individual words in dialogue, or to express inner thoughts in a way that doesn't use quotation marks. Hope this helped clear things up a bit. There may be more situations i missed, but those are the biggies.
