One thing I like is attract / to attract / attracting attention. Any difference?
1. One thing I like is attract attention.
2. One thing I like is to attract attention.
3. One thing I like is attracting attention.
I have seen all three structures. Are they different in formality?
In case (3), would it be ambiguous because it is not clear whether it means I like attracting attention or something that I like, e.g. a movie, is attracting attention?
Thanks

The first is wrong.
The second and third are correct, and there is no difference between them. There is no ambiguity.
