“	I really don't know if the United States is ready for "Rodan!". We acquired it in Japan and will handle its release in this country. This is a lulu. It's so diabolical that we're worried about the degree to which people should be shook up–all shook, or maybe just 75 per cent, if you see what I mean.	„
	— From United Press interview with Frank King

“	They weren't gangsters, but they had [investments in] slot machines and they were probably running something [illegal] in town. Nobody questioned it. They had a few bucks, not rich, but they had a few bucks.	„
	— From interview with Philip Yordan, writer of Dillinger, produced by Frank and Maurice King
