He didn't bomb like past Academy Awards hosts, but Neil Patrick Harris doesn't think he can do it again.

Harris told The Huffington Post that the award show is a "beast" that required countless hours of commitment and hard work.

"I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it," he said.

However, the former "How I Met Your Mother" star said he was grateful for the experience.

"It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don't know that it's a delightful balance to do every year or even again," Harris said.

Harris is no stranger to preparing for award shows-- he has hosted the Tony Awards four times.
