"Neither style is an absolute rule, though double quotes are preferred in the United States and single quotes in the United Kingdom. A publisher’s or even an author’s style may take precedence over national general preferences."

It depends on the formatting system. Typically, apostrophes set off quotes within quotes. For example:

-In an interview, John said "I don't like to waste time. Unlike my brother who frequently says 'I just want to relax', I like to be productive"

True quotes are much more formal in appearance. Few respectable magazines will use ' to quote.
