Renee Zellweger Praises Co-Stars  9/29/05

Renee Zellweger credits co-stars Ewan McGregor, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey with making her a successful actress.

The Chicago star insists film-making is a joint effort and thanks her male leads with helping her create great movie scenes.

She says, "I'm spoiled rotten in terms of the experiences that I've had with other actors.

"You're only as good as what you're given, what you share with the person you're in the scene with."

And the talented blonde pays particular tribute to Cinderella Man co-star Russell Crowe who dreamed of working with for years.

She says, "He finds it fun to dissect material and learn about it and live it and tell a story from the inside. So I knew that we would be compatible in the way that we approach the work."
