Which is better to say?

If I am asked in an inverview, ';When can you start if you were hired?'; should I say, ';I can start at any time.'; or should I say, ';I'd like to give my employer two week's notice but if you need my right away I wouldn't have a problem giving less notice to my current boss.';?



The first option is straightforward but means I would burn my bridge with my old employer but the second option tells the interviewer that I don't have good character because I'm not willing to stand up for what I believe in.
