What I've heard is that if you are asked an uncomfortable or illegal question in an interview, convert it to the closest legal or comfortable version in your head, and answer that. Like: "What's the worst thing that ever happened to you?" -> Auto-convert to "What's the worst situation that you had to handle at work?" -> Forget the "I got in a bar fight on the weekend" story, tell the "I had to convince the stubborn holdout on my team to go along with the rest of the team's consensus on how to solve a problem" story.
