"I have many interests outside of work. I enjoy being outdoors and spend a lot of time kayaking, mountain biking, trail running, and camping with my family. I also recently took up painting and find it is a great stress release. I love to tap into my creative side, which is nice after working with analytics all day."

Talk openly and honestly about the things that keep you busy and engaged outside of the workplace. Don't hesitate to discuss some unique things about yourself. While there is no right or wrong answer to a question like this, you want to refrain from describing any activities that might be construed as unethical or indecent.
