London:
Filmmmaker Steven Spielberg says he struggled to balance his work and home lives while filming his Oscar-winning Holocaust movie Schindler's List because he had to work on 'Jurassic Park' at the same time.
Speilberg, 64, who is of Jewish heritage, felt compelled to make the film after reading Thomas Keneally's 1982 book about German businessman Oskar Schindler, who helped save more than a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees from genocide during World War II, Daily Express reported.
"Well, I wouldn't have normally wanted to do that. But I had put Schindler's List off for a number of years, and I was suddenly seized with a real sense that I needed to make the picture. And I was working on Jurassic Park already. It was very difficult emotionally for me, as when I came back from filming, I just wanted to be with my family. I didn't want to be with a T-Rex. But I felt like it was a small price to pay," he said.
