Being emotional and sensitive has made me the actor that I am today," she tells EW.

“It’s given me a well of emotion to use and draw from.

It’s probably the greatest asset that I have.”

The Oscar winner says that when people call her “emotional,” she turns it around on them.

“I say to the person, ‘What in those words make you uncomfortable?’

Maybe it’s a question for yourself, not for me,” Berry adds.

“I remind them that I was told I was strong since I was knee-high to a bullfrog.

“So I’ve always equated that with something positive.

So for me, it’s always been a positive way to be described.”

“It wasn’t easy.

This wasn’t a slam dunk for me,” she says.
