Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

So like a true Parkinson's patient, I don't really know what's coming.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

I have a general sense of how far it goes this season, but nothing specific yet.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

And that's just the way our show works.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

We get a script probably...

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

If we're lucky, a couple weeks ahead of time, but normally maybe just a couple of days or a week ahead of time.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

Um, not specifically.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

There's parts of it I haven't thought through yet, really.

Fresh Air

And I think that might be similar to how I might react if I did have Parkinson's.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

I would want to know certain things and other things I would just not want to know.

Fresh Air

So as to not be looking for them, just be happy enough with what you got.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

Sure, stuff comes up, and we have really good writers, and I love what they have to offer.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

But, you know, it's a collaborative atmosphere, and I feel free to bring up any idea I have.

Fresh Air

I guess the most famous, the one most well-known and perhaps illustrative of where it comes from is the line in Star Wars where Princess Leia tells me that she loves me and I say, I know, I know, instead of saying I love you too, which is the scripted line.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

Simply the impulse was to be more in character.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

And George Lucas, who had written the line, was not so happy that I didn't give him the original version.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

But I really felt strongly about it.

Fresh Air
Harrison Ford

So he made me sit next to him when he previewed the film in a public movie theater in San Francisco.

Fresh Air

And it got a laugh, but it got a good laugh.
