Thatʼs an interesting question
Let me see
I havenʼt thought about that question before
Where should I start?
There are a variety of different things I could say
Wow. Thatʼs a tough question to answer.
I need a couple of seconds to think about that but

Personification is when you assign the qualities of a person to something that isn't human or, in some cases, to something that isn't even alive.
