John Connally

When you're out of office, you can be a statesman.

Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.
