The probabilities $P_\pm(t_0,t)$ that a growing Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface remains above or below the mean height in the time interval $(t_0, t)$ are shown numerically to decay as $P_\pm \sim (t_0/t)^{\theta_\pm}$ with $\theta_+ = 1.18 \pm 0.08$ and $\theta_- = 1.64 \pm 0.08$. Bounds on $\theta_\pm$ are derived from the height autocorrelation function under the assumption of Gaussian statistics. The autocorrelation exponent $\bar \lambda$ for a $d$--dimensional interface with roughness and dynamic exponents $\beta$ and $z$ is conjectured to be $\bar \lambda = \beta + d/z$. For a recently proposed discretization of the KPZ equation we find oscillatory persistence probabilities, indicating hidden temporal correlations.
