Using grep -P:

$ grep -oP '(?<=key1=")[^"]*' file
value1
value11
value111

Using awk you can search for given key like this:

awk -v s="key1" -F '[= "]+' '{for (i=1; i<NF; i+=2) if ($i==s) print $(i+1)}' file
value1
value11
value111

awk -v s="key2" -F '[= "]+' '{for (i=1; i<NF; i+=2) if ($i==s) print $(i+1)}' file
value2
value22
value222

Using cut itself:

cut -d \" -f 2 < File

Set " as delimiter and extract the 2nd field. Hope it helps.

Another similar solution with awk:

awk -F\" '{print $2}' File
