I've found success by focusing on the appearance of sincerity of what I say. The other key insight was making sure that I was spending time trying to figure out what the other person is actually proud of, instead of what I was most interested in.
In other words, don't worry on originality - focus on saying something positive about the thing the other person is interested in.
