The majority of people will work overtime hours or take work home with them on occasion. Talk to the interviewer about how frequently to take your work home. If you do take work home with you, make sure to express that it is due to overachieving and not procrastination or poor time management.
"Only occasionally. I make every effort to utilize my work hours efficiently so that the only time I take work home is when there is an extremely stringent deadline or some type of emergency. I would say that, overall, I take my work home maybe twice per month. Now, that's on the execution side, but on the ideation side, I can tell you that I'm constantly thinking about new ways to do things, new innovations to try or new approaches to problem, so that 'script,' if you will, is constantly running in my brain!"

To be honest, I hardly take work home. I'd like to keep my work life and my personal life separate, but on occasion, I will take work home when I need to learn about the products or the company.

Stephanie's Feedback
It sounds like you've developed a strong work-life balance, which is wonderful! In asking a question like this, most employers are trying to determine whether you're willing to go above and beyond, if you can get your work done effectively, and what your work/life boundaries are. I suggest adding a sentence or two that illustrates how hard-working you are while on the job and that, as a result, you finish your work and don't need to take things home. But if you have extra work that's undone, you'll stay late or work overtime to ensure that it's done.
