Daniel Day-Lewis is set to move back to America.

The English actor - who has held Irish citizenship since 1993 - looks set to be relocate to the US after his writer-and-director wife Rebecca Miller spoke  of her desire to leave their current home in County Wicklow.

American-born Rebecca - who has two sons, seven-year-old Cashel and Ronan,  11, with Daniel - said: "I need, finally to be in the country I'm writing  about.

"I do need, ultimately, to return. It's important to the boys. They spent  the first few years of their lives in America - Ronan until he was six.

"He has a sense that he belongs there, in part. He would never get away with  not going there because for him it is a big part of his life, for Cashel as  well."

Despite her dream to move to the US, Rebecca - whose parents were playwright  Arthur Miller and photographer Inge Moreth - insists she loves her current  home.

She added: "I like it. It's wild where we live. There's a reason so many  writers come from Ireland. There's something about the place that drives you  into yourself. I've written a lot since I've been living there."

Living in a male household - which also includes Daniel's 14-year-old son  Gabriel, from a previous relationship - inspires Rebecca's writing as she  prefers writing for men over women.

She explained to Sunday Herald.com: "I love writing for men and about men. I  think maybe it's because I'm surrounded by men. My whole house is male, even  the cat. I've got a lot of men around me.

"The fact of having sons definitely gives me more of an understanding of the  vulnerability of maleness."
