You need to use more variety of responses. Saying ‘that’s interesting’ too often can seem boring.
Interesting is also a very general response. Try selecting a word that specifically responds to what the speaker has said.
Here are some alternatives for you to try

1) Fascinating (Very interesting)
2) Brilliant (Very good)
3) Incredible (Very good)
4) Hilarious (Very funny)
5) Outrageous (Very shocking)
