Most directors have little lists in their heads of people they really want to work with.
Meaning of the quote
Directors often have a mental list of actors, writers, or other filmmakers they really want to work with. This could be because they admire the person's talent, have had a good experience working together in the past, or simply think the person would be a great fit for their next project. Having these "little lists" helps directors plan and make decisions about future films.
