Be honest and positive, yet professional. Answers such as "I want to pursue other career opportunities" or "I'm looking to take my career in a new direction" are usually acceptable.
Don't be negative: Complaining about your previous job (no matter how terrible it is, or how justified your reasons for leaving) labels you as negative and reflects poorly on you.

out of personal experience:
"I feel that this position would offer me more knowledge and hand-ons exprience compared to my current position with my company"
"I would love to boarden my horizons in the ________ field and I believe that your company would assist in my advancement"
"My talent was not completely utilized at my current position, I believe that I can be completely useful here at your company"
"My current position was not giving me the proper training or hand-ons experience I was hoping for to provide great service in my field of work"
keep it positive, sometimes tell the truth: to a degree, sometimes employers can tell you want the job for money, so mention it a bit. ask questions such as benefits and what not.
"My current position does not offer the great benefit packages and pay as your company does, and I believe that I would make a good addition to your company because I would love to work here."
be sure to thank the employer for the time they took out to interview you and be sure to make them know that YOU WANT this job, not that they should WANT YOU.
good luck!!

Tell them like the first poster said...that your company is not allowing you to use your capabilities to your fullest, and you feel that if the company that you are interviewing with would hire you, you would be an asset to them.

Keep it positive. Don't mention any other people. "Looking for a position with more room for growth" is always a good one. Avoid "my boss is a d*ck."
