If police ask, say, 'I want to talk to my lawyer', and just keep repeating that. Its not an admission of guilt, innocent people get put away all the time because they don't talk with a lawyer. The police aren't your friend, like they say, anything you say to an officer can and will be used against you, nothing you say can and will be used for you.

Answer basic questions though like your name. Not sure if you need to give your address but it would have limited harm towards you.

When they begin to ask questions about what were you doing, or where you were going, you can kindly decline by saying I'm not going to answer any other questions.

If things do get worse for you showing that you were cooperating with the police by showing ID and giving your name only benefits you and answering nothing else is completely in your favor. Even if you're being questioned as a witness you don't need to answer questions with ones that could be incriminating to yourself. Don't self incriminate.

The police have a habit of lying. I have not said anything yet they claim I said a bunch of shit. That is why you need a lawyer. Never trust a policeman when he is working the job.
