Actor Neil Patrick Harris says he loves the feeling of fear which comes with every challenging job.

The 40-year-old actor, who plays Barney Stinson in the hit sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother', thinks that the reason behind him hosting Tony awards is because he loves to feel frigthened, reported Contactmusic.

"I know they can't touch me and I like the experience of it weirdly, I think hosting the Tony Awards is almost the same thing. I'm out there, it's live, something could go terribly wrong, but we have lots of outs and I have a teleprompter and we've already rehearsed everything. It's fun and a bit dangerous, but I know I'm going to be all right", Harris said.
 

He feel surprised that how some stars can't read an autocue.

"It always amazes me when Oscar-nominated actors go on award shows and read the teleprompter as if they have never seen it before," he added.

As 'How I Met Your Mother' show comes to an end, Harris feels sad but is looking forward to take up new challenges.

"I won't ever be able to play someone like Barney again because he's so unique, but we had over 200 episodes... And my exclusivity deal is done with Fox," Harris said.
