Matthew Quick, Author Of 'Silver Linings Playbook'

Matthew Quick, author of the book "Silver Linings Playbook," which has been made into a major motion picture starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, joined Good Day Sacramento via satellite this morning.

Matthew said the book was not autobiographical, but was a metaphor for what he was going through in his personal life.

"The book is fiction, but metaphorically, definitely. I was going through a rough time. I was going through a depression at the time, and the writing was a way for me to deal with that...get my thoughts on the page and sort out the things in my life," said Quick.
