“Well, the material was just… funny. The heart of the film was good and Stephen Herek was a really good director for it.

“I met Alex Winter and he and I got along famously but, did I know it was going to be so popular? No. When I got the audition, I probably didn’t even have the whole script.

Bonus! On Bill and Ted 3:

“Way back when I was in my thirties, Alex and I would talk about playing Bill and Ted in our forties. But now he and I are in our mid-forties, so maybe he and I need to talk about playing Bill and Ted in their fifties.

I wouldn’t say no, but it would have to be a good idea and they would have to be a reason to do it. And we don’t have one right now”
