Most cichlids are interactive after a while not just oscars.
Lots of oscars are kept solo as wet pets,so are a lot of other cichlids that reach the 12 inch mark.They only have their keepers to interact with.Given their large size they are often kept with no tank mates to distract them.
You will find a lot of smaller cichlids are housed with other smaller cichlids,therefore they react more with each other than they do with their keeper.If you were to house a convict cichlid for example in its own as a wet pet it would also display lots of personality.
I've kept angelfish that were extremely interactive,Firemouths, acaras even dwarf cichlids like Bolivian rams can show attitude and personality.
There is more to personable cichlids than just oscars.
