In an interview with Vogue, Scott revealed that she put her career as a novelist in the backburner in order to raise her children and spend more time with them. “Writing is such a ‘pretend’ profession,” she said in the year 2013. “Nobody is counting on you at all. You can’t ‘pretend’ to be a lawyer or a teacher. It takes a lot of grit to continue. Kids, on the other hand, have an urgent need to be taken care of. After the third child, I knew I couldn’t be the kind of parent I wanted to be and continue writing. Those years were just too busy.”

She has published two novels over the course of her career under the name Mackenzie Bezos.

Bezos has often discussed the importance of role models in his life

While he’s revealed very little about his kids’ life, Bezos has spoken about his father, a Cuban immigrant, and how important his influence has been on him and his own family. “I think in every immigrant you’ll find a deep optimism and a deep resilience too,” he said of him at the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Awards. “My dad is an intense hard worker. My dad is warm and he teaches an easy smile. My brother and sister and I could not have had a better role model.”
