"I", "you", "he", "she" etc. is only used when they are the subject (~は, ~が). For example if you want to say:

However, if those words are used as object of any kind, "me", "you", "him", "her" etc. is used.
私とあなたの間に木があります。 = Between you and me there is a tree.

If the pronouns are only used as an answer to someone (using no particle in Japanese), object pronouns are used.
だれがやった?–私でした。 = Who did that? - It was me.
