Wanting to know
Interested means having your attention engaged or curiosity aroused: I'm interested in learning more about that.
It also describes wanting to participate or pursue something: Let me know if you're interested.
An interested party has a stake in an outcome—financial, personal, or otherwise—which may compromise their objectivity: All interested parties should recuse themselves from the vote.
