I wish you well and I hope it will be a huge hit, because that would be very good for me. And if, God forbid, it’s a terrible flop, well that would be very good for me.
Meaning of the quote
The actor is saying that he hopes the project will be a big success, because that would be good for him. But if it ends up being a complete failure, he says that would also be good for him. He seems to have a very strange way of looking at things - he wants the project to succeed, but he also seems to want it to fail. This quote shows that the actor has a very unusual and selfish perspective on things.
