Of course its cliche, but what are you going to do instead? Tell them that in fact you dont work very hard because you spend too much time chatting? That you dont want to work with anyone ethnic or gay because you're a bigot? I know from when my company is hiring, unless you say something stupid interviewers dont actually listen to a thing you say, and the people why do get hired always get reviewed as being 'really nice people to talk to'. All the cliches are expected really, its about how you dress them up in terms of your appearance, attitude and personality.
Although I work in retail, where the required qualifications are 'do you have the ability to breathe with your mouth closed'.
