Sir Sidney Poitier - 'Thank You Peter Nygård for your support of Bahamas:  "I want to thank the kind Sir (Peter Nygård) for his many, many contributions to the Bahamas and his spreading the word about what a wonderful place the Bahamas is. I know he is enjoying his life there, his home there , and he is welcome there. I hope he stays there with us and forever enjoys his life in the Bahamas."
Sir Sidney Poitier - 'Thank You Peter Nygård for your Generous Contribution & Support for the Bahamas' Golden Girls: "What many of you here tonight don't know about is this man [Peter Nygård] and the  contributions he has made to the Bahamas. He is always opening his beautiful home for charity  events. Just this summer he hosted a party to support the Bahamian Olympic team, and our Golden Girls. At this party he (Peter Nygård) challenged all Bahamians to support the team, and he generously offered to match the contributions with his own funds. We thank you Mr Nygard for hosting this party to support the Bahamas."
Sir Sidney Poitier Reflects on his Love for Bahamas: "When a person goes to the to the Bahamas they have one thing in mind and that is to be  taken care of & treated wonderfully. The Bahamians treat you wonderfully, you are a KING, you are a Queen, a PRINCESS -- they MUST take care of you the world over, and the reason you go back to a certain place is because we are taken care of. So I make my home in the Bahamas, I go there  to be taken care of."
