The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.

Don't worry about being the most interesting person in the room, just try to be the most interested person in the room.

• The interested person asks about others and leaves a good impression because people like talking about themselves.
• The interested person is genuinely curious about someone's craft and learns a lot about how things work.
• The interested person engages with more people and—because opportunities come through people—is more likely to catch a lucky break.

In general, the interested person learns more and tends to be well-liked. And in the long run, it's hard to keep down someone who is well-learned and well-liked.

It seems that a lot of people my age try to be interesting by having problems or starting conflicts. I'd rather be interesting because I created something beautiful.

The more you are interested in others the more interesting they’ll find you. To be interesting, be interested.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.

A stranger is often more interesting than the familiar because your brain craves new experiences. But remember, it’s the familiar who truly cares about you

I'm not the sort of person who tries to be cool or trendy. I'm definitely an individual.

My idea of an interesting person is someone who is quite proud of their seemingly abnormal life and turns their disadvantage into a career.

Being happy with less is what makes a great human being, not a big house with marble floors, or everyone knowing who you are.

Am I that fascinating to you, or are you just more bored than I imagined?

Curious people are likely to be more attractive to others, as people are attracted to those who seem interested in them. Curiosity also leads to empathy, an emotion that seems in short supply today.

I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with 'expressing' myself with obscure creative impressions.

As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.
