I think that, ideally, every adult person should try to strive for a kind of worldliness. Or awareness...but artists in particular have the desire to share ideas to the world through self-expression. Such a level of openness shouldn't collide with ignorance or intolerance.
Also, because it is their job to create profound meaning in mundane material, artists have the responsibility to be utterly honest...unless through dishonesty truth can be determined more readily.
Most importantly, an artist must be ready to fail. Failure is necessary for growth. I never want to stop growing or learning ever. Enthusiasm in Experience is the Best Thing.
I am a silly person. I am a happy person. I am doing what I want to be doing. I would like to be less concerned about how people think of me and more concerned about how my actions make others feel. I would like to hone the skills that i have so I can use them in conjunction with new skills I have yet to learn. I would like to take all of the things that i know how to do, and combine them into ONE THING. I would like to break down all the little things I know so that I can know them BETTER. I don't want to know ALL THE THINGS, but only Some of the Things, because then I would run out of things that I still need to know and that'd be awful.
