RE: Gravitons

How can photons be massless when at rest, since intuitively it seems like nothing can be massless if it is made up of something. How could gravity act upon massless things, I always thought that masses attract each other, so how can massless photons be attracted?
Is it correct that when photons move at high speeds, the energy is the mass, so when they are at rest, there is no mass? I am so confused…
