“You know what I’m talking about? Um, f*cking people who say it’s, you know, good. It’s Hollywood and those stupid Hollywood people,” Applegate shot back. “Like, you’ve got to be kidding me.”
“I think people who don’t live here just feel like it’s just celebrities walking around, running everything,” she continued. “We’re like a part – we’re a little part of town. I mean, this is a city people who work their jobs at fast food chains or, you know, freaking builders and painters, and that’s it [a] countless groups of people here.”

Sigler implored her friend to “turn off” that kind of rhetoric, to which Applegate replied that even though she did, she thought it was “ridiculous.”
“You know what everybody in LA has in common? They’re dreamers,” Sigler asserted.
“They’re all here for big dreams and they’re working from top to bottom, doing their own fucking thing. And of course. Is there a group of people who have been affected and will have the ability to rebuild their lives – I wouldn’t say easily, but are there thousands other people who literally have no idea where to start?
