W. C. Fields Quotes

W. C. Fields (1880–1946) was an American actor, comedian, and writer who began his career in vaudeville as a silent juggler. He was famous for his comedic persona as a misanthropic, hard-drinking cynic, which often mirrored his public image. He was characterized by his gruff voice and grandiloquent linguistic style. He became a Broadway star before moving to cinema, where he delivered memorable roles in films like "The Bank Dick."
