Renee Zellweger became famous quite by accident. The actress started out in beer commercials in Texas before being launched into the spotlight and never dreamed that she'd be an A-lister down the road.

"I have never had those thoughts before," she said, while being inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame. "I moved to L.A. because I just ran out of things to do. If Austin Studios had been here at the time, I might not have gone anywhere."

The actress also addressed one of her first roles, a small part on Dazed and Confused. "I felt really lucky to be a glorified extra on [Dazed and Confused]," Zellweger said. "I learned so much about how a film set works and how it breaks down into different departments and what your responsibilities are as a performer when you are participating in a collaborative effort."

And, even Chainsaw Massacre did something for her: "[It] was the best five-week workout plan of my life," she said. "Nothing like a live chainsaw to motivate you to run faster."
