From an interviewees standpoint, the point of the an interview is to introduce a narrative about your self. So, first decide how you want your self to be portrayed and work backwards. Are you a rags to riches golden boy, are you Mr. Accomplishment. Are you Mr. I bring Diversity. Once you know what you're going to sell them on, then the "Tell me about your self" point gets easier. Tell them a narrative that highlights whatever your story is. Also, throughout the interview reflect back on the narrative you're telling. At the end of the "Tell me about your self" question don't say, "That's all" or something lame like that. Say, "Does that answer your question?"
