"It's more than just time travel, it's an odyssey.": -Boston Herald, July 14, 1991
"I love Ted, I love playing Ted. When I played Ted, it changed my life, totally, awesomely bodacious. It's his openness and his thinking, what he does. They're really free and alive, with a lot of mirth, innocence and practical jokes.": -Boston Herald, July 14, 1991
"We were together for three months, every day for 15 hours. You change and start to sound like Bill and Ted. I wanted to live like that.": -Boston Herald, July 14, 1991
"For me, it's weird because I know these are silly lines, but I have to take it seriously, it's like Shakespeare. Otherwise, they didn't communicate.": -Boston Herald, July 14, 1991
"Alex and I fondly called it Bill & Ted's Omitted Journey because they cut so much out of the script.": -Film Review, December 1996

(about his and Alex Winter's characters) "We die and go to Hell. Then there's a parody of The Seventh Seal where we have to play Death at chess. But we don't know how to play chess. So we play Battleships instead.": -Movieline, February 1991
"The odyssey this time is outlandish, right? It's outrageous, right? Hades and heaven and hell and the evil Bill and Ted and death, you know what I mean? Did you like when we died and came up in black and white? It's goofy but it's cool, right?": -New York Newsday, July 23, 1991
"In the sequel, Bill and Ted are pretty deadbeat. Their band isn't going anywhere, they're out of high school, they work in a place called Pretzels 'n' Cheese, the girls won't kiss them. Everything's not quite happening.": -New York Times, 1991
"It's not as innocent and easy as the other one. It's more complicated, and it's got some trippy images in it. It's not violent, really -- we're not swearing, and it's not that dark -- but there is some weird stuff. We die.": -New York Times, 1991
"If anything, Bill & Ted is more about language than other films. They talk about "Saw-crayts' and "Beeth-oven'. The nature of their discourse is so arch and specific. They have a private language. We thought of it as commedia dell'arte. I didn't think of it as stupid at all.": -San Francisco Examiner, Saturday, August 12, 1995
"Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey/Bill and Ted Go To Hell/Bill and Ted's Second Excellent Adventure/Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Part Two is about -- Well, we're trying to get our band going but we really suck and two evil robot versions of us come from the future and take us out to Death Valley and throw us off a cliff.": -Venice magazine, August 1991
"When I first did Ted, I took stuff from cartoons. This time, I tried to figure out how he would work years later, out of high school, trying to hold down a regular job, trying to some extent to live in the adult world and still be funny. It got tricky. The levels of evil Bill and Ted and then regular Bill and Ted. I mean, I just had to figure it out. Sometimes it felt right, and sometimes you just didn't know. It was Ted-world, you know?: -Venice magazine, August 1991
"I had a lot of fun doing Ted again. He's always going to be with me, and I'm always going to be in him. I learned a lot from Ted. That script and that part taught me a lot of things, and I took them for myself and in my life. There is such joy to his outlook. He is a very sincere young man, he's a good guy, and he just wants to laugh and play rock 'n' roll, y'know? It's not that complicated, and it's a reaction to his environment.": -Chicago Tribune - July 18, 1991
