Avoid going into too much detail - it's like walking into a field of landmines. Instead, keep your answer succinct by briefly answering the question and transitioning the conversation to why you want this job and what you can bring to the company. "Focusing on the pull factors, not push factors, makes you seem like a dedicated candidate," "It also will help prevent any inadvertent bad-mouthing of your old job, which is something you never want to do in an interview." The best answers are ones that say nothing negative at all, and just genuinely reflect your interest in the job or company for which you are interviewing.

Bad - "My current job isn't bad, but it's not exciting and I want to try something new. Plus, I have a really long commute and the pay isn't great."

Good - "While I'm happy with my current role, when I heard about this this opportunity I thought it sounded interesting and seemed to be a good match for my skills. I've always been interested in the work of your company, and wanted to learn more."

Before going into any interview, it's best to be prepared to answer a question about your motivations for leaving a previous job, especially if you are leaving under negative circumstances. When asked "Why are you looking for a new opportunity?" remember to be honest, but not to a fault, and to use your answer as an opportunity to demonstrate why you will make a good and motivated employee.
