Text in quotes changes paragraph style

Dear all,

I am struggling with one issue when I put some text in quotes like this "text text text etc" the text inside the quotes automatically chans into italics and black color. When I try to apply paragraph style which I created the text does not change. I. e. no color, font, etc.is applied.

Does anybody know how to force InDesign not to automatically change the text in quotes and instead of it apply the paragraph / text style to it?

Thank you for your help

Tom
