Xah Lee has an emacs-lisp function which achieves this called xah-select-text-in-quote. It is available from his website:

Select text between the nearest left and right delimiters. Delimiters here includes the following chars: \"<>(){}[]“”‘’‹›«»「」『』【】〖〗《》〈〉〔〕（）. This command does not properly deal with nested brackets.
