"I just about died last year when my dad was given that honor and his speech was so beautiful and I was sobbing all night long," she admitted. "I mean it was really moving and I just want to add to something I said before."
"When I said it's important, what I mean is that in films today, 31 percent of speaking roles go to women, where 69 percent go to men," she continued. "In action films, it's 23 percent. The fact that there's a category that acknowledges that, female actors in an action film, it's cool."
Bryce also talked about patenting and how she juggles the roles of a mother and actor to WebMD.
