Gwyneth Paltrow reveals her emotional side

The actress - who has an eight-year-old daughter, Apple and six-year-old son Moses with her rocker husband Chris Martin - revealed she sees a therapist and is a highly emotional person who cries all the time.

She told America's InStyle magazine: "I cry all the time. I cried half an hour ago. I'm a crybaby! [I cry] maybe out of sadness or uncertainty."

When asked why she works so hard, Gwyneth Paltrow candidly replied: "You can call my shrink on that one. The positive thing that drives me is a curiosity and momentum. The negative is a need to validate myself or feel special. Like a childhood need to differentiate myself or..."

The 39-year-old star also admitted she has extra empathy for Moses because she suffered from postpartum depression when he was born.

She explained: "When Apple was born, she had the hugest blue eyes. I looked into them, and she was looking at me, and I felt like, You are here to teach me everything. After [Moses] was born I had postpartum depression. It was a difficult time, and because of that I believe I have an extra empathy for him, and he for me."
