I've never thought that was a fair question, because it's actually pretty rare to be able to work on something you enjoy and end up proud of. The way I see it, one of the reasons I'm interviewing with you is that I hope that the best of my career is ahead of me, and that the project I'm most proud of is the one I'll be working on next.

I ask a variant of this question when I interview, and if you said this? I mean, people vary, but I think this is a totally valid and good answer. Because I have a lot of shitty gigs in my past, too--the signal that "I'm moving on because I want to work on things I'm proud of" is a pretty powerful one. (It's gotten me gigs before, too.)
