It helps to have a pause before you begin to speak. Think of what you're going to say before you say it. When you're done, you're done. Don't feel pressured to say anything more than what the answer is.

Additionally, it helps to have a framework. The STAR method[1] is pretty appropriate for interview responses and is pushed pretty heavily by FAANG. When I worked at Amazon, I was told that my adherence to the method really helped me stand out (for what its worth).

Finally, its worth reaching out to the employee working/resource groups at the place you're trying to apply for. Let them know you're an English as a Second Language (ESL) candidate and see if there can be any accommodations. My org allows you to interview in your native tongue and provides accommodations.
