“Getting to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s like I’ve earned the ability to go back to my family.”

“He’s like, ‘Hollywood is the Matrix, man. You plug in and it’s all fake world,’” Glen told THR. “He’s like, ‘Then I go to Austin, and I unplug. It’s all real.

And for me, especially as my parents get older and my niece and nephew are growing up, I want a separation of those worlds.”
