Local opinion polls are very interesting to me. What local polls say.
That sounded interesting to me, so I agreed. What someone said.

It will be interesting for me to compare the processes and to see if the two can benefit from each other's experience.=I will compare the processes.
It's not very interesting for me to waffle for two hours. I might waffe.
I just told her that it might be interesting for me to get to know something of France.=I might get to know it.

Something you do is interesting for you.
Something people do or say is interesting to you.
