My version. 1. Be polite 2. Ask questions. (Interesting people like to talk about themselves) Elicit more than Yes/No answers. 3. Answer questions put to you with more than Yes/No answers. (Interesting people like to learn more about interesting people)

That, or they love hearing themselves talk.

Of course they do. We all like having an audience. The trick about good conversations is to give that mutually.

I would venture that people who only like to hear themselves probably don't fit my definition of interesting...
