Yes, these are all good things to think about. But I also think that there is something to be said for being spontainous in an interview. If you practice you awnsers to these questions in a contrived ways you will look forced and will also trip up and forget to say half of what you wanted to say. I think the best thing to do is to relax and be you. Don't try to make yourself sound better then you are because then you are just going to start lying and that looks worst. Sure, there are ways of phrasing things so that they look better. But I think that in an interview you should really try to show them who you are personality wise. They can always look at your resume and portfolio to find out how what you're skill set is. An interview is to gauge what you are like. Also frankly I think that they are going to find out more about you from the little side questions they ask then the major ones that are outlined in this article.
This is a helpful article in giving tips about how to answer questions that can be awkward when someone does not think about how to answer them before the interview. It would be helpful for the article to also cover tips on how to overcome awkwardness or shyness at an interview, discussing other issues that could guide a person in answering these questions easier when they are less nervous or uncomfortable. Of course, that would be a different article, but still helpful nonetheless. It is good that this article outlines the goals of these questions, but there are more important things in an interview than the actual answers to these specific questions.
