London:
Former Beatles legend Paul Mccartney says he has learned to be cautious after becoming a victim of phone-hacking.
Mccartney, 69, whose phone was hacked during his divorce from glamour model Heather Mills, said he refuses to hold long conversations over the phone and only leaves "benign" messages, Contactmusic reported.
"The worst thing is that then you suspect everyone - your PA (personal assistant), who you thought was a great girl - 'What if?' At the time of the divorce, I realised there was quite a possibility of many people hacking me for various reasons.
"I used to talk on the phone and say, "If you're taking this down, get a life.' It is a pity not to be able to talk freely on a private call," he said.
And the pop superstar admits the privacy invasion has changed the way he communicates.
"I tend not to say much on the phone now. If I leave a message, it's benign. You edit yourself according to the new circumstances of the new world. I think it would be quite good to get some sort of laws (sic)," he added.
