I don't think I've ever heard Harrison actually disparage the character.
Here you go:

Interesting, but it clearly states that interview was conducted in 2008. And I think he's only comparing Han to the other roles he's played. Maybe he was thinking of Bob Falfa? ;)
Every actor who's played an iconic role seems to go through a period where they don't realize the impact that character has on people. Just ask William Shatner.
Peter Quill in Guardians of The Galaxy is very much a Han Solo type, except he does mature, and takes charge of the situation in a way Han didn't in the OT.
