"Other than getting in some good exercise and spending time in the kitchen cooking for the week, I cherish not planning anything for my downtime. I have worked a few times with erratic schedules and learned to be flexible; it's best not to plan. I get in some fitness, make sure I eat well, and then I might do something. I make sure I am enjoying myself and relaxing."

Your interviewer is curious about what your hobbies will say about you, but they are also interested in how you maintain a work-life balance. Additionally, they need to make sure you are a good fit for this position, and getting to know you better as a person may help answer those questions. When answering, be open and honest, and discuss activities that reflect your professionalism or how well-suited you are for the role. This should include hobbies, such as exercise, eating well, or stress management. Avoid discussing anything that may be loosely interpreted as a conflict of interest.
