How do you answer when interviewers ask your salary requirements or current salary?

I've been looking for other jobs because I hate mine now. I had an interview last week and they asked to call today so I thought they were going with me. They just called to ask my salary requirements and I said I was open. Then they directly asked what I made now. I didn't expect the question so I didn't lie and now I'm worried I messed up and I'm going to get a low ball offer if I get one at all. I don't want to make a lateral move salary wise obviously if I'm leaving I want it to be a step up. Why should my current salary effect what you think I'm worth anyway? Ugh it's so annoying.
