I only get 1 but 2 and 3, i have never been asked before. My response to 1 has always been "Yes i am looking for job but depends on what you have for me" or "No i am gainfully employed". As for 2 and 3, you can just say NO

If the interview is going south you can always try:

1. are u actively looking for employment?
- No. I just like to waste your and my time

2. how many interviews have u been to recently?
- A few dozen. That's all my parole officer allowed

3. do u have any offers on the table?
- Yes, all in the six figures. What you got?

Just sayin'!

Just be honest. We try too hard to fit into some mold in order to seem like the perfect candidate. Nobody wants a canned response that you learned off the internet, just tell them the truth. With that being said, if the truth is saying that "yes I am looking for employment because my boss doesn't know the difference between his a$$hole and his elbow" then you probably should think of a different reason, i.e technical growth, career advancement, etc.
