Red Whittaker once told me "people remember you for your successes, not for your failures." People remember Paul McCartney as a member of the Beatles, and maybe a little for Wings, but not for any of the crap he's put out. They remember a director's good movies, not the bombs (unless they're really spectacular, of course.)

However, it turns out to be genuine and there's a related one to boot: Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.
