I'll try to answer your last question ("why do gravitons interact with quarks") and the implicit one ("why hasn't anyone seen a graviton?") as well. You yourself are a pile of mostly quarks (and gluons) whose behaviour with respect to the surface of the Earth is extremely well described by General Relativity. There are plenty of large astrophysical objects which are mainly quarks-and-gluons and they follow General Relativity (GR) exactly. The non-gravitational behaviour of all these objects is (within measurability) exactly described by the Standard Model, and if we divide them up into…

No, but we predict it to be essentially impossible to observe a graviton. http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0601043
