      Consider rephrasing your response like below:
      "I don't mind taking work home with me when it's necessary. I'm a hard worker who is committed to getting the job done right, and I've definitely done this many times before. However, having said that, I try my best to work efficiently so I can complete my tasks and projects during work hours. I believe that work-life balance is important, so when I'm away from the office, I generally try to take a break from work and enjoy my family, friends, hobbies, and exercise. Then I come back to work recharged and ready to go!"
